Well, when I emailed some Seagate people, they just told me to use supported ones. So I suggest you email them about it, telling them it is on the compatibility list, and asking for an explanation and fix (eg. firmware bug fix). You could also say it is fairly common on seagate (and Samsung) disks, and very uncommon with other brands.

The drives at least aren't being marked as failed. I believe a change was made a while back to make FreeBSD less sensitive to these sorts of timeouts. I have had a panic or two on the system, but haven't tracked down the exact cause yet. > > John > > On Apr 10, 2012, at 12:35 PM, Peter Maloney wrote: > >> I found this only happens with specific disks / disk firmware... but >> nobody seems to listen to me about it.
