That is a known issue in older driver versions that should be resolved now. It only affects our latest generation of drives that are <= 120GB, it will not affect the larger drives (>= 160GB), and it won't affect any drives of the next product generation because I fixed the root cause in the drive as well as helping identify a driver workaround/fix. error=0x04 is an "abort" and not a critical error The original note had error=0x40, which is an Uncorrectable ECC error... that is bad, and you should probably RMA the drive. You can also try to see if you can "fix" it by writing to that LBA (obviously backup your data first) and see if the error goes away... if that is the case, the ECC could have been due to a write splice at power failure or some other transient event (extreme shock or heat or something) If there are a lot of ECC errors (you have them in about 2 places) which could be a sign of bad things in progress, just RMA the drive. --eric -- Eric D.
