Oh, joy. I have some of those, and can confirm their data-eating powers.
Thankfully mine were in a backup server as part of a regularly verified
RAID array with ECC on the volumes, so I didn't lose any data, but it
was certainly frustrating.
The firmware updater is a right pain, because it only supports certain
SATA controllers and you have to boot into it. Grr.
smartctl is a *vital* tool; the more people know about it and how
awesome it is, the better.
