So there is really nothing anyone can do about it? I will just need to
keep the tag depth at 8 for that drive.
Earlier you said something about a firmware upgrade for those drives?
Would a firmware upgrade help solve this issue more cleanly or given that
it is now working should I just forget about it and leave well enough
alone.
Thanks,
