When a write is issued while the drive write cache is enabled and a read-verify is performed immediately afterwards, undetected data corruption can occur. For this issue to occur, the drive write cache must be enabled. Fixes a potential data loss situatiom. After a power cycle, the drive is no longer available and becomes unresponsive. Data may become inaccessible due to the drive not responding. HUA721050KLA330 B4A HUA721075KLA330 B4A HUA721010KLA330 B4A Picked up the latest network roll of firmware fixes.
