Again?
Have they at least managed to increment the firmware version this time?
We faced a similar WD bug with their RAID edition drives, which would drop out of a RAID array when they decided to run a self test.
WD eventually fixed it, but failed to increment the version number of the firmware. Took a long time to try and convince them that:
1) DOS only firmware updates were bad (especially in globally distributed data centres)
2) Firmware version numbers had to be incremented, else we can't tell which drives we've updated...
