We also see similar problem on Maxtor 6V250F0 drives: they 'crash' randomly at
a weeks timescale. Only way to get them back is by power cycling. Tried both
SuperMicro SATA card (Marvell chip) and Promise Fastrak, firmware updates from
Maxtor did not fix it yet. We were already forced to exchange all drives at
a customer because he does not want to use Maxtor's anymore. Neither do we :(
