I would not recommend to do this in production systems. It will possibly 
increment counter of "other drive errors" and at some point drive will 
be marked as fault. Actually SAT layer in LSI raid is a one big issue - 
it works very differently on different raids, but all implementations i 
saw are very limited. It is 100% firmware issue.
