I had 10 of those in a RAID-6 at the time. Luckily the firmware bug only
manifested itself on a re-start of the drive, and as I probably drop
power to the machine once a year (if that), I could drop them out of the
array one at a time, upgrade the firmware and re-add it to the array.
A messy process to be sure, but no risk of data loss that way.
