To trust or not to trust?
I have a 400GB SATA drive: WDC WD4000KD-00N. With these errors in dmesg that have been mentioned throughout the thread, should I trust Linux using this drive, or should I remove it/wait until a patch is released to address this issue?
Also, in the forums (storagereview.com I believe), it has been noted that these drives do NOT work on the Intel ICH5 controller, and this turned out to be true, when I put it on the Intel ICH5, the box stalls for 2-3 minutes and then it does not see the drive. However, on the Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3112 chipset or Promise SATA/150 TX2 it works okay but it has those errors in dmesg.
My question is, performing long and short smart tests, everything is physically ok with the drive; however, I probably should not use this drive for anything important in Linux, comments?
