I guess it's always the firmware of the EcoGreen models which cause
these problems. Your drive isn't EG...
I don't remember exactly the different model numbers, but I'm sure they
were all EcoGreen. The lower power consumption was the reason to choose
these specific drives (different capacities and F2/F3 series tried),
with acceptable performance loss - I thought. But it turned out that
EcoGreen and NCQ as well as RAIDZ demands dont' fit together...
