FWIW, I observed the same thing with a pair of Western Digital WD1000BB 100 GB hard drives; when enough activity hit them, they'd get errors and drop into PIO mode, where they worked just fine. I replaced them with a pair of WD1200JB 120 GB drives (these are the special-edition version with 8 MB cache and maybe other differences as well) and had no problems. However, this was on an Asus A7M266-D dual-processor system with an AMD768 south bridge, running FreeBSD 4.7. Terry R. Friedrichsen terry@uplift.sunquest.com
