Hello -scsi: This is probably a faq but I haven't found in archives lately. What makes/models of scsi (u160, maybe 320) hdds "play nicely" (or not) with FreeBSD nowadays? Over the years I've had good experience with both Seagate & IBM (& with their service, when necessary). These have been 4.5 & 9gb, all 7200rpm. The IBM units have seemed to run somewhat cooler. So nowadays, in, say, 9-36gb 7200/10k rpm drives, what are good to seek out (& what to avoid)? I guess critera would be *reliability* & "cool running" (which are closely related, I'd guess ;). Nowadays, I'm guessing things like speed would be roughly the same within a particular type/capacity (i.e. rpm/capacity)? Please cc me any replies; I guess I could summarize to the list if deemed appropriate. Thanks, -kc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
