just like to start by saying thanks to everyone who helped out with the = questions I had posted about these drives. I picked up the phone yesterday after waiting 2 weeks for Maxtor.com to = help support there drives and supply a working firmware revision, and = gave Maxtor china a call, with my broken Chinese I managed to get across = the problems with the drives, within 10 minutes I was speaking to a tech = about the problems and he said they have a new firmware available BUT it = wasn't tested with FreeBSD note revision: "DFV0" drive came with: "DFF0" = and all Maxtor.com have is: "DFL0". so I had him send it over, upgraded = the firmware and switched back to U320 mode, it booted and I was able to = login, im running iozone up to 4gbs at the moment and the drives haven't = hung or crashed so far, this is a HUGE improvement. If anyone has a hard time finding revision "DFV0" for Maxtor atlas 10k = IV drives just give me an email and I'd be happy to pass on. special thanks to Justin. Regards Paul
