While over > the years I've had nothing but problems with Seagate... :( I should also mention that 90% of the problems that I've ever had with SCSI can be directly linked to over heating... No matter how well you think it may be cooled... it always seems like it's not enough. :) (I once saw two exactly identical computers sitting side by side in a cubby hole running the exact same software where which ever one was on the right side would die. The one on the left side would run merrily along. :) Granted, I don't know for sure that that is your problem, but that is where I would start. :) Rick ******************************************************************* Rick's FreeBSD Web page http://heorot.1nova.com/freebsd Ace Logan's Hardware Guide http://www.shatteredcrystal.net/hardware ***FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
