NS40 drives are too old. HW CAN NOT support UHD, no matter what FW you try.

Time for me to buy a new one, I guess... With a recent manufacturing date code.

For UHD-capability, 2014 and earlier won't work. Even 2015 drives are unlikely to be UHD-capable unless they were made in the latter part of the year. Ugh, that's unfortunate.
