Is the firmware not updating for all disks, all disks of a certain model, or a particular disk?

All disks being updated are X412_S15K7560A15 in either na02 or na03. They all fail to update with the same "write buffer command failed" error。

Would you be able to find a version 04 file and see if it can upgrade to that firmware first before going to 06? Or try downloading the firmware file again?
