Hi,
I have a couple of Debian Lenny ("2.6.26-2-amd64") boxes on rented
hardware, each has a couple of SATA drives:
One has 2x 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 model ST31000333AS firmware SD35
The other has 2x 2TB WD Caviar Green model WDC WD20EADS-00R6B0 firmware
01.00A01
... the machines are currently set up to run smartd, and also log HDD
temp via munin. ata_piix is the driver in use.
The WD machine did this sort of thing a couple of times, which got my
attention.
I have seen people report similar problems with the following drives:
1 - Velociraptors (me/others) (don't work at all in raid correctly)
http://forums.storagereview.com/index.php/topic/27303-velociraptor-premature-failure-rate-bad-drives-premature-to-market/
2 - Green Drives (search this list, there are similar problems) in Linux.
I have Caviar Black and WD RE3, they work OK in Linux.

The WD Velociraptors do not work (at least in RAID).
The Green, again, search the list I recall seeing people have problems.
