Unhappy Western Digital hard disk problems with FC13

I've just fitted my third WDC hard disk to this computer and its already got 2 bad sectors (current pending sector count).

I'm starting to wonder if its a Fedora problem.

First of I had a WD Caviar Blue 500Gb boot drive die on me.

The I had a WD Caviar Black 500Gb boot drive die on me within hours.

Now a WD Caviar Black 1Tb data drive is dying on me after a couple of hours.

This has to be some sort of WDC/Linux kernel bug or something doesn't it? Its not the motherboard or controller or cable as the SSD I now boot from is working fine.

motherboard is Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 iP55 (think sata is intel ich10 in ahci mode)

This is what I keep seeing in dmesg:

Code:
ata2: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4090000 action 0xe frozen
ata2: irq_stat 0x00400040, connection status changed
ata2: SError: { PHYRdyChg 10B8B DevExch }
ata2: hard resetting link
ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133
ata2: EH complete
...
name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:07, inode=8714
name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:07, inode=8714
...
Possibly an old bug resurfacing on new drives: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404851 and http://inferno.slug.org/wiki?Western_Digital_NCQ
