Okay, thanks for the clarification (for this and the spec itself).

Apparently there's a new firmware available, dated Oct 13 but with no 
release notes.  We just tried updating the firmware on one of the drives 
in question and it failed from two different versions of linux, while 
Windows won't install because it doesn't like our SSD apparently.  Joy.
