Got it. The Sandforce Firmware.
You may not want to install this Drive until Firmware is available.
According to Sandisk flashing can wipe your Data.

The tweaktown article state the problem is in RAID?
Anyone using the Drive now can confirm that update is not needed?

It is also 7mm and comes with a Desktop Adapter.
