 Seems some Samsung 2 TB drives were shipped with buggy firmware that
can cause them to loose data, details to be seen here:

Yes, there is a firmware upgrade available that will fix things and
which should be applied ASAP.

This story has been all over the MythTV users mailing list, one place
filled with users who want LOTS of storage for some reason :-) .
