Attached a patch for supporting WDC sata drives. Please let me know if I can provide any further information for adding support for these drives.

Before, I use on it machine i386 distrib and 5.38 - all will be OK now, we have:

scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=9 offset=27 bd_len=23

Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. backup1#
