A firmware bug wouldn't surprise me. FWIW, here are my firmware versions and latest information. The problematic drive has firmware version 1AA01110. I don't trust that specific drive, don't really trust that model anymore, so I retired it and bought a new drive to replace it. The other HD753LJ I have (also replacement) has firmware version 1AA01110 too. This drive hasn't shown any problems yet, but I will be testing it more after I finish moving some files around. > Some searching online suggests that others have solved similar problems by > replacing their SATA cables.

I probably ran across all of the same stuff. I tried multiple cables, multiple SATA ports and multiple host systems. The problem was nearly 100% on the intended system. I don't know how frequent the problem was on the second system since I stopped testing on it after the first failure confirmed the problem was not specific to the original system.
