Thank you for the 3.05, just updated, everything went well.
Any idea when/if a fix of this issue will come? I tried and unfortunately 3.05 did not address this bug, and this is a valid concern some users had for quite some time now.
(my offer to provide FW my drive/enclosure/cable for testing still stands)
Edit
Further tested, behaviors I described in the original post can all still be replicated.
