Ok, I'm willing to run your script on my new Seagate 2.1 Wide, aha2940uw.

The only concern I have is if it does in fact produce an error, how are
we to prove it is not the hard disk, among other things, or the driver?

A return of 0 proves its neither hardware or ext2, but a failure does not
indicate anything.
