There’s a lot of correlation and speculation going on along with deflecting potential liability.
It would seem if you have one of these drives, make sure the firmware is current, and you should be fine. (Prerelease firmware and heavy load seem to be the “triggers”)
If you don’t plan for hard drive failure, you’ll learn that lesson eventually…
