I'll chime in a data point saying that I have not seen any errors with the SuperMicro 1U and my 250G Western Digital SATA drives: atapci0: <SiI 3112 SATA150 controller> port 0x4000-0x400f,0x4020-0x4023,0x4028-0x402f,0x4024-0x4027,0x4030-0x4037 mem 0xfc300000-0xfc3001ff irq 26 at device 2.0 on pci3 ata2: channel #0 on atapci0 ata3: channel #1 on atapci0 atapci1: <SiI 3112 SATA150 controller> port 0x4010-0x401f,0x4038-0x403b,0x4040-0x4047,0x403c-0x403f,0x4048-0x404f mem 0xfc300400-0xfc3005ff irq 27 at device 3.0 on pci3 ata4: channel #0 on atapci1 ata5: channel #1 on atapci1 atapci2: <Intel ICH3 UDMA100 controller> port 0x2060-0x206f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 31.1 on pci0 ata0: channel #0 on atapci2 ata1: channel #1 on atapci2 acd0: CDROM <CD-224E/1.9A> at ata1-master UDMA33 ad4: 238475MB <WDC WD2500SD-01KCB0/08.02D08> [484521/16/63] at ata2-master SATA150 ad6: 238475MB <WDC WD2500SD-01KCB0/08.02D08> [484521/16/63] at ata3-master SATA150 The vendor (ASA) were initially reluctant to send me this box because they were keen to issues with FreeBSD's SATA chipset compatability, but I did some research and convinced them not to fret. I am saving money and probably some hassle by replacing 3ware with gmirror. My cheat sheet is posted at http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/24/freebsd-howto-gmirror-system/ . Thanks, -danny
