To clarify, if you hack the firmware from the OEM to the Retail version, the warrenty is void. However, that doesn't mean you can't use the latest OEM firmware which is equivilant of the latest retail firmware (G7V9 and B7V9 respectively). Some OEM drives even COME with the retail firmware on them!
