I'm now getting SCSI parity errors whenever I try to write a file larger than a few KB. I did notice that the firmware revision was 1020 whereas the other three disks I have are 1022. I'm assuming there is a problem with the firmware of the drive. Is it upgradeable? Is it fixable? The drive is partitioned (labeled) and formatted exactly the same as the one it replaced. The error is: sd2(bt0:4:0): ABORTED COMMAND info?:214ac asc:47,0 SCSI parity error, retries:4 The retries and the numbers change after the info?: Thanks, Craig =================================================================== Orbit Internet Email: craigs@os.com 400 Grove Street Phone: (508) 753-8776 Worcester, MA 01605 http://www.os.com/
