Here's my situation, 2 perfectly happy HDs, both SCSI-II, were
working great for months.

I upgraded to -current like 2 months ago, and my Micropolis
2 gig 7200rpm drive (running very cool to awesome scsi box)
just crashed, i mean like hard, the Buslogic 946C it was on
couldn't verify or low level it.  I figured it was a HD problem
so I ignored it and just got the drive RMA'd.

I ran 2.1.0-release for a while, and then upgraded to -current
once again about a week ago when i got my Matrox Meteor and
wanted a better driver for it. Everything was going great,
until last night a Quantum 2 gig drive died.  Now, this drive
was rock solid for almost a year, and i even switched to an
adaptec 2940.. it could be a coincidence, but then again, its
just a bit too suspicous to be right after -current install,
again.

These are the kinda errors I started getting:

sd0(ahc0:0:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0
sd0(ahc0:0:0):  Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
, retries:4
sd3(ahc0:4:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0
sd3(ahc0:4:0):  Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
, retries:2
sd2(ahc0:3:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0
sd2(ahc0:3:0):  Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
, retries:2

But they were all on sd1, and then it finanlly died and I get this:

sd1(ahc0:1:0): timed out in datain phase, SCSISIGI == 0x0
sd1(ahc0:1:0): asserted ATN - device reset in message buffer
sd1(ahc0:1:0): timed out in datain phase, SCSISIGI == 0x0
ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset #1. 1 SCBs aborted
sd1(ahc0:1:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0
sd1(ahc0:1:0):  Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
, retries:3

I've never seen the screen scroll so fast with errors.

Its been like an hour since I disabled that drive, it only
had the errors on sd0, sd2, and sd3 on bootup, but all
is happy now.. hopefully it will stay this way.. Should I
worry?  Should I downgrade to -stable with the Meteor driver
from -current?  I don't relaly want to loose more drives if it is
FreeBSD thats killing them.

This is my dmesg:
