This is a particularly nasty kind of error in my opinion. The only reason I can think of for the drive to return this kind of error is that you have write cacheing on. This is coming from the Quantum drive, and not from the controller. 87 is a vendor specific additional sense code, so we can't tell what it is. If you're willing to try to get through to Quantum tech support it would be interesting to see if they can help you. You received a deferred error (sense data Error Code 0x70) with a SENSE KEY of 4 (HARDWARE ERROR), an Additional Sense Code of 0x87 (vendor-specific) and an Additional Sense Code Qualifier of 0.
