Check HP's site for firmware updates for this and the P800 (but not the
P600, curiously) - they recently issued a critical update notice which
could lead to miscompares when doing RAID operations (IIRC it checks
for consistency whilst drives are idle or something, and whilst
checking can corrupt data - they're not called smart for nothing!).

See HP's advisory for full details (sorry, haven't got a link to hand)
