I've no idea if this affects any of our hardware, but better to be safe than sorry

Please note those are for SAS disks, I believe we have more SATA ones, which are affected by https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00048133ja_jp

Email sent over to Dasher/HP to see if they can cross-check if any of our previously purchased drives are impacted. Thanks, Willy

Confirmed by Dasher (email below), that we're not impacted by the critical firmware update bulletins. Resolving task.

Hi Willy,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our engineers have been aware of the HP Bulletin notice and have investigated to see if Wikimedia has been affected by this or not and it has been determined that Wikimedia has “not” been affected.
Have CC’ed Markus to answer additional questions you might have.

Best,
Daniel Joo
