Well, they might be right. Or the drives may be affected but they don't
support OEM versions anyway and may not know.

Obviously one could try updating anyway (I'm sure a simple hack in
version/SN checking routine would do). It may be risky.
You should, in theory, contact the OEM partner, not the manufacturer.
Could be hard.

OTOH I think the update fixes unrelated problem (a drives failing to
start), that would need checking.
