Well I don't see what your hardware is. Machine type, RAID type, etc..

But in most cases RAIDS have a designated enumeration, the one's I know start with drive 0. since yours shows Drive 7 I am going to assume (again not knowing your hardware setup) that it has 8 bays. So slots 0-3 are empty, and 4-7 have your drives. Either that or it's a split backplane, and for some reason it starts at 4, but I am guessing it has 8 slots.

That's why you have a drive 7, that's the number matching it's physical slot. If you look at the front of the machine careful, I bet you will see the drive designations, 0,1,2 etc.. That's when you get an error, it will say Drive 3 bad, you know exactly which one to pull or replace.

Since this happened after the update, I'd say your hardware needs a firmware patch, the current firmware level probably doesn't support the ESX U4. Have you tried calling your vendor to see if they have a new patch? Or perhaps this machine is not on the HCL for ESX?
