X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 00:23:42 -0000 The number one problem I've had with SATA RAIDs has been the cables! 4 times I've lost arrays because the cables came loose or some other stupid problem with the cables. I need a vendor that has high quality latching SATA-II cables. Also... what can we do with the old cables to fix them... super glue them on?... Here's a question... Are all SATA cables rated for SATA-II? I've never seen a definitive answer to this question and newegg.com does not sells "SATA-II" cables... Also does the spec call for shielded cables? frustrated, need a place to unload.... thanks. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/
