Don,
Do we have to ask?
Drive Model #
OS used on?
What issues?

I have had issues in Linux with a
WD10EZEX drive.
I recall some talk in another forum about the Ez drives where they had an 
odd, non-standard SMART (or bleeding edge, perhaps) SMART implentation
Replaced that drive with another and the issue disappeared.
