Great!  I'm glad it's working!

It was most likely the Samsung hard drive.  This drive is the exact same
model that Alex Petrov also had problems with:

ada1 at ahcich2 bus 0 scbus2 target 0 lun 0
ada1: <SAMSUNG HD501LJ CR100-10> ATA8-ACS SATA 2.x device
ada1: Serial Number S0MUJ1KP317818
ada1: 300.000MB/s transfers (SATA 2.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
ada1: Command Queueing enabled
ada1: 476938MB (976771055 512 byte sectors)

It claims to support Read Log, but actually doesn't.

The change I checked in in revision 300640 will only send a Read Log (and
additional SMR probe steps) to drives that claim they're SMR drives.  Any
non-SMR drives should get the same probe as before.
