first off..if you are using the on bios raid turn it off. Secondly
black drives form WD intentionally put themselves into deep cycle diags
every so often. This makes them impossible to use in hardware and FRAID
setups. I have 4 of them in raid 10 under mdraid and i had to disable
bios raid for them to not go nuts. I still get the occasional error but
usually the kernel is smart enough to let them take their breather they
want to take. unfortunately the only drives that don't do this are
their "enterprise" drives. this is the primary reason i have
discontinued my use of all western digital products.
