Wow!!! I'm a bit stunned by this.
I've always regarded Western Digital (WDC) as one of the best brands but perhaps they are now about the worst. However, the best performing (in terms of failures) here is HGST which is wholly owned by Western Digital!!! Eh???
What the heck goes on?

MOPD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOPD(8)
NAME
mopd -- MOP Loader Daemon
SYNOPSIS
mopd [-adf] [interface]
DESCRIPTION
mopd services MOP Load requests on the Ethernet connected to interface or all interfaces if '-a' is given. In a load request received by
mopd a filename can be given. This is the normal case for e.g. terminal servers. If a filename isn't given mopd must know what image to
load.
Upon receiving a request, mopd checks if the requested file exists in /srv/tftp/mop, the filename is normally uppercase and with an extension
of .SYS. If the filename isn't given, the ethernet address (in lower case, apart from the .SYS) of the target is used as the filename, e.g.
08002b09f4de.SYS and it might be a soft link to another file.
mopd supports two kinds of files. The first type that is check is if the file is in a.out(5) format. If not, a couple of Digital's formats
are checked.
In normal operation, mopd forks a copy of itself and runs in the background. Anomalies and errors are reported via syslog(3).
OPTIONS
-a Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system. If '-a' is omitted, an interface must be specified.
-d Run in debug mode, with all the output to stdout. The process will run in the foreground.
-f Run in the foreground.
FILES
/srv/tftp/mop
