It's more than likely they have a buggy firmware. It happened to me with a bad batch of RE-GPs a few years ago. They were in a ZFS pool and kept being removed after I/O timeout errors. Your nearest WD support person should be able to provide you with a fixed firmware and the tools to flash them. -- Francois Tigeot
