Comment 6 for bug 309384

It's a firmware bug, corrected in R?05 and newer. It can however be
worked around by silently filtering all Inquiry SCSI commands and
hardcding the response as a string (in the driver maybe) as the drive
freezes the exact moment it receives that command and then needs to be
power cycled.

Alternatively all drives (R???) can be updated with a previously
linked updater that will upgrade all drives to the RR07 revision that
has been fixed.
