Well, FWIW, JMB ahci's are one of my favorites and usually very well
behaved.

This one is being discussed both with JMB and WD. It seems the bridge
chip used in the WD external drives is somehow incompatible with the
JMB ahci's. Don't know whose fault it is or how it can be worked
around yet. The issue is being tracked in the following bugzilla.
