done :
portable-cur# dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/null bs=64k count=400000
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
26214400000 bytes transferred in 1493.586586 secs (17551309 bytes/sec)
portable-cur#

this hopefully means neither the disk nor the adapter are fried - good news 
indeed ! (and the read speed is very good : 17Mbyte/sec)
