It only takes one line to change state with the E-SMD 
interface to indicate a write. Seems to me on powering
up a controller board it might be easy to have that
happen.

Older and wiser souls have mentioned that in the "old days"
one religiously write protected all disks before a power
cycle. We certainly do that now, there's a nice secure
feeling when you follow that procedure.
