Micron 5400 SSD Firmware Update Loop - Remains on D4DK003 after K003 flash
Bonjour à tous,
Je rencontre une anomalie persistante lors de la mise à jour du firmware sur un SSD Micron 5400 SATA.
Symptôme constaté :
J'ai appliqué le package de mise à jour Dell (DUP) officiel pour installer la version de firmware K003 (Driver ID: RJ0WY). L'utilitaire va jusqu'au bout du processus et le système redémarre. Cependant, l'inventaire matériel et les rapports système continuent d'indiquer de manière persistante la révision de firmware D4DK003.
À cause de cela, la mise à jour vers la version K003 m'est systématiquement proposée en boucle comme étant "Requise", alors que le flash semble avoir été effectué.
Mes questions à la communauté et au support technique :
Est-ce que la chaîne D4DK003 est l'identifiant normal et définitif renvoyé par le disque pour la version commerciale K003 (ce qui signifierait un simple bug d'affichage du catalogue Dell) ?
Si la mise à jour subit un échec silencieux en tâche de fond (lié à des contraintes de mémoire DUP ou au contrôleur), existe-t-il une méthode alternative recommandée (comme l'outil Micron Storage Executive CLI) pour forcer et valider l'installation ?
Merci d'avance pour vos retours d'expérience ou vos solutions.
Hello everyone,
I am encountering a persistent issue when updating the firmware on a Micron 5400 SATA SSD.
Observed symptom:
I applied the official Dell Update Package (DUP) to install firmware version K003 (Driver ID: RJ0WY). The utility completes the entire process, and the system restarts. However, the hardware inventory and system reports continue to show the firmware revision as D4DK003.
As a result, the update to version K003 is repeatedly offered as "Required," even though the flash process appears to have been completed.
My questions for the community and technical support:
Is the string "D4DK003" the standard, definitive identifier returned by the drive for the commercial version K003 (which would imply a simple display bug in the Dell catalog)?
If the update is failing silently in the background (perhaps due to DUP memory constraints or an issue with the controller), is there a recommended alternative method—such as the Micron Storage Executive CLI tool—to force and verify the installation?
Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences or any potential solutions.

Hi
Try
Confirm it is applied
Run one of these from Windows PowerShell as Administrator:
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep -i -E 'firmware|version|model'
You should see the Micron model, e.g. MTFDDAK480TGB, and firmware D4DK003. Dell’s K003 package explicitly targets Micron 5400 SATA models including MTFDDAV240TGC, MTFDDAV480TGA, MTFDDAV960TGA, MTFDDAK480TGB, MTFDDAK960TGB, and MTFDDAK1T9TGB.dell

Bonjour,
Essayez ceci.
Vérifiez que la modification a bien été appliquée.
Exécutez l'une des commandes suivantes dans Windows PowerShell (en tant qu'administrateur) :
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep -i -E 'firmware|version|model'
Vous devriez voir apparaître le modèle Micron (par exemple, MTFDDAK480TGB) ainsi que la version du micrologiciel (firmware) D4DK003. Le package K003 de Dell concerne spécifiquement les modèles Micron 5400 SATA, notamment : MTFDDAV240TGC, MTFDDAV480TGA, MTFDDAV960TGA, MTFDDAK480TGB, MTFDDAK960TGB et MTFDDAK1T9TGB.
Regarding the PowerShell command (Get-PhysicalDisk), our PowerEdge R7515, R450, and R350 servers are configured with hardware RAID (PERC controllers). As a result, Windows PowerShell only visible the Virtual Disk and cannot fetch the raw physical firmware version of the underlying Micron SSDs.
However, our iDRAC Storage inventory explicitly reports the drive model MTFDDAK480TGA as running firmware D4DK003.
To contextualize: We manage more than 10 servers with the exact same hardware configuration. We received the official Dell notification regarding the critical 65,535 hours (POH) limitation on the Micron 5x00 series( just about 3 of our all servers), which is why we are executing this deployment.
Based on your message, since the iDRAC reads D4DK003, can you confirm 100% that D4DK003 is indeed the definitive internal string representing the K003 patch? If so, it means our drives are successfully protected and we are dealing with a simple Dell repository catalog display bug before we roll this out to the rest of the fleet.
Informations about the server:
Server Models: PowerEdge R7515, R450, and R350 (More than 10 impacted servers in production)
Storage Controller: Hardware RAID (Dell PERC Controllers)
Operating System: Windows Server 2022
Drive Model: Micron 5400 Pro 480GB (MTFDDAK480TGA)
Applied DUP Package:Serial-ATA_Firmware_RJ0WY_WN64_K003_A00_01.EXE Thanks again for your help!
