>Just some questions. Do all newer SCSI drives support active >termination inside ? Anything that doesn't use resistor packs for termination likely provides active termination. Any drive built in the last two years almost certainly uses active termination. Of course, LVD, and SCA drives do not come with termination at all. It must be provided externally. >How good is that kind of termination provided >by disks itself compared to external active terminators ? I always prefer an external terminator from a reputable source to on device termination just because I know exactly what I'm getting. If you go the external route, go with a force perfect terminator. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
