Workaround
Give write permissions to modify files:

Open the file and add the following at the end of the file, before default:
<snip>
<HUS722T1TA>
<offset firmware="RAGNWA09">0</offset>
<offset firmware="default">0</offset>
<family> "HA210"</family>
<wd_name>"Ultrastar"</wd_name>
</HUS722T1TA>
<DEFAULT>
<firmware version="default">
<offset>0</offset>
</firmware>
<name> "UNKNOWN"</name>
<family> "UNKNOWN"</family>
<wd_name>"UNKNOWN"</wd_name>
</DEFAULT>
</model>
</drives>
Save and close the file.
Remove write permissions so that no one accidentally modifies this file:
chmod u-w /etc/pendsect/drives.xml
Run the following command and check /var/log/messages to verify no errors are seen:
/etc/cron.daily/pendsect
