Note that they didn't know what firmware I already had, and they didn't call the firmware they sent me "new". But, of course, I told them that I have two 300GB DiamondMax10 drives. (This is model number 6B300S0) The file they sent me was called BANC1BMO. |

Hi, if the firmware update helped you, can you upload the BANC1BMO firmware
update please? I have the firmware BANC1B70 now and maybe the update can help me too. Thanks.
