Could this message be the result of inadecvate cabling/termination and use of Ultra speed ("sync. 20Mhz"), or is it surely a error from the harddisk itself ? I insist on this because so far during the test period (3-4 days, 24h/day) it gave just this error but only when I switched from non-ultra to ultra... Of course, there were also those initial MEDIUM READ ERRORs that gave me the fear of defective hardware, but that was with ultra speed too... > > -- > Justin > Thank you, Ady (@warpnet.ro) Warp Net Technologies To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
