        seems like I get these every 6 months or so from HP.  Do all drives
         have these kind of issues and I only see the ones from HP because
         they are diligent about reporting/fixing these issues?  Or do they
         suck?   (It's not actually their drives so...)  Also, do I really
         need to bring down my production infrastructure and fix all this
         or is "rare" sufficiently rare (or sufficiently harmless) that I
         can ignore it?   -advice needed.  tnx.
         \_ no raid? can't update 1 at a time?

1/12    Good news everyone! You get to enjoy another month of instability, since
        the manufacturer dropped the ball and the case+power for the server we
        ordered on 12/8 has been delayed to 2/16! Yay! --t
        \_ where did you order this?
        \_ This is why you buy from HP or Dell and not some White Box POS.
           It used to not be worth the premium to pay for a name brand,

Release Date: 2013-04-26 Last Updated: 2013-04-25 DESCRIPTION IMPORTANT : The hard drive firmware update in the Resolution section below is considered a critical fix and is required to prevent the issue detailed below.

This issue has only been observed in a lab environment under firmware stress test conditions, and has not been reported to date in a customer environment. SCOPE Any HP system configured with any of the following HP SAS drive models running an affected version of the drive firmware, as listed in Table 1 below. Note : The Option Kits listed in Table 1 do not necessarily contain affected drive models. Multiple Option Kit numbers may be used for each drive model, and multiple drive models may be used for each Option Kit. Only the drive models themselves are affected by this issue.
