Definitely a bad disk, I yanked it out and stuck it in a linux box to
test, it immediately failed a short smart test:

Self-test execution status:      ( 116) The previous self-test completed having
                                        the read element of the test
					failed.

# 1  Short offline       Completed: read failure       40%      1445 # 3655496

Submitting an advance RMA request through Western Digital was pretty
painless, hopefully the replacement will show up shortly. Other than the
controller failing and requiring a hard reboot about what I'd expect
from a dead drive...
