Some combinations of > controller and disk don't work correctly. With the Silicon Image I saw it with both Seagate and Maxtor. With the Promise I am not sure; might have been the Maxtor once or twice, but only the seagate when I triggered the bug on purpose (didn't try the Maxtor). > If I use up a slot, I'd like at least 4 ports and NCQ. > If FreeBSD doesn't have NCQ support yet I might just get a > USB or FW to SATA adapter or two and wait for NCQ. NCQ is nice but I don't *really* care. I just want something that works at all :) Of course I would want NCQ if it was a performance critical production system though. And AFAIK NCQ is not yet supported in FreeBSD. --=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --------------enig737B9D04CB810B56BE5CC5D5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGSKkgDNor2+l1i30RCCMTAJ9BbE/GWIVVdYoQAifOQg7JpuAISgCgvhCf t/gI9KW0i+L7te5CmxskDts= =efJ8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig737B9D04CB810B56BE5CC5D5--
