Harddisk firmware updates from IBM might solve unload issues

Are we sure that there isn't an IBM update to the firmware on the following disks that provide the proper cabability response?

  • Hitachi HTS726060M9AT00 (7K60)

IMO we should be listing firmware revision along with any ThinkPad HDs we flag as problematic, as IBM does indeed offer firmware updates to their disks often...

My Hitachi 7K60 doesn't report park capabilities, even though parking does work. A month ago I tried updating my Hitachi 7K60 with the latest firmware on IBM's site; while the version string in the release note was different from that reported by the drive, and the upgrade program told me no upgrade is available for my disk.
