IIRC, their loader either doesn't let you load the wrong firmware, or will
tell you which drives the firmware is for.

I always just do a 'strings' on the firmware binary first.  You'll see the
byte-swapped model numbers that the firmware is intended for.

For instance, this is from the Atlas II DAGNLYK8.FUP firmware file (which
is intended for the 4G Atlas II drives):

PX4355S0        
==> XP34550S
UFCPtsnIof  
==> FUPCstInfo
 FE>+
PX4355W0        
==>XP34550W
PX4355W0 D      
==>XP34550WD
PX4355J0        
==>XP34550J

Easy enough.
