SubjectWD 400GB SATA Drive In Constant Smart Testing?
When I write to this disk for a while, I see this in dmesg (only once so 
far):

[31230.223504] ata6: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/04 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ
0xb/00/00
[31230.223511] ata6: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[31230.223515] ata6: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }


Is there some sort of smart testing going on constantly? I only get
26-27MB/s on this 400GB/SATA/16MB/7200RPM drive. I use smartmontools to
do a daily test. However, even with smart disabled, I get:

# hdparm -t /dev/sde
/dev/sde:
Timing buffered disk reads: 78 MB in 3.06 seconds = 25.46 MB/sec

Does anyone know if this drive has problems in Linux or something?

[ 6.895914] Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD4000KD-00N Rev: 01.0


It just seems to be that drive that has issues.

Here is a 400GB seagate ata/100:
/dev/hde:
Timing buffered disk reads: 172 MB in 3.02 seconds = 56.91 MB/sec

Here is a 74GB raptor SATA/150:
/dev/sda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 204 MB in 3.03 seconds = 67.38 MB/sec

Both drives above are on the same system, so my question is what exactly
is wrong with the WD drive? Is it a Linux issue, a drive issue, or?

Does anyone else use this drive, what rates do they get?

What is up with the error in dmesg?
