    Anthony didn't need a warning, since he knew that something was amiss
    from the beginning ... else he'd have no reason to ask questions about
    it.

    What Anthony didn't and still doesn't know is whether or not it's an OS
    bug. Normally this sort of thing is likely to be an OS bug; however, if
    the messages occur only for one of two identical drives (as they appear
    to be at the moment), this tends to tip the balance in favor of a
    possible hardware problem on one drive. It's possible that a driver
    might have an unusual bug that causes it to treat one drive differently
    from another or creates unusual situations in which only one drive is
    affected, but such bugs are rare.

    Anthony is thus thinking of buying another identical drive and
    installing it to see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, the
    balance will tip back strongly in favor of an OS bug.

    The drive passes all the self-tests, though, so nothing is certain.
