I dont think he can be using yhe same controller, as mine is an
embedded HPO unit. they do make a separate plugin one though - P400
SAS controller.

My symptoms are that the thing locks hard and respionds to nothing, no
keypresses or anything. I am assuming that the disc is the first thing to
go though, ebcause I see data which was being written to a file and a
processes reading from that file to the network. more of the file comes
over the network than makes it phyiscally onto the disc

The only useful error I ever saw was the message about spin
lock / turnstile locks being held for too long.
