[j-nsp] High failure rates for M7i/M10i hard disks?

[Per Ole Klemetsrud]

failure and do not indicate any failed component that would affect future

They way I interpret this it's not really the harddrive themselves that 
break - someone either broke the BSD ATA drivers, or the drives are 
non-compliant.  What's the point of having harddrives if you can't use 
them, and how many tracoptions are too many??  This sucks..
