Yes it is a known problem.  It does not happen with most combinations
of drives and controllers.  You need to exhaustively document the
motherboard/controller/hard disk and put it into a PR and file it
so that the developer can add your combo into his database.  The more
of these that are documented the quicker that a coorelation is going
to show up and get fixed.
