WD Firmware update

[tricky_]

Hey guys,

I have two older Western Digital hard-disks and someone told me that it is better to have up-to-date firmware in order to maximize drives performance.
My drives:
1. WD6400AAKS-65A7B0 (640GB) - firmware: 01.03B01
2. WD5000AAKS-00V1A0 (500GB) - firmware: 05.01D05

How can I update the firmware of those hdds?

Thanks in advance

Go to WD's web site and see what downloads are available for your models.

Been there, done that, nothing interesting

FWIW, the WD6400AAKS-65A7B0 appears to be a HP/Compaq OEM drive while the WD5000AAKS-00V1A0 appears to be a retail version.

Maybe HP's web site has something.

Nope, nothing on HP's site.
