Hello. I have an HP ProLiant ML110 G4 server with an HP SC44Ge Host Bus Adapter card (416096-B21). According to this card's QuickSpecs, this server is supported. Also, according to the server's QuickSpecs, it supports these hard disks: HP 300GB SAS 3.5" 15K NHP (431950-B21). Everything is fine so far. But there exist several firmware updates for these disks, the latest being this one:

All those firmware updates are rated as "Recommended", although they all mention that they fix a ‘not ready' condition that leads to premature disk failure. I would rate that as Critical, but anyway, the firmware update is available so that's OK, right? Not really, because none of these firmware updates support my HBA card, even though I cannot find any document that requires me to have one of those cards that the firmware update supports.
Can somebody enlighten me about this? Thanks.
