Please reply back to -questions... my experience is rather limited in the fact that I've never had problems with SCSI that was not directly related to overheating or my own stupidity with jumper settings... :) > Thanks for the info.

You'd want to narrow it down of course to the drive or the card. :) > I have the cover off on the machine. The SCSI drive > is on top and is kinda warm to the touch but not > really that hot.

Like I mentioned, I've never had problems with those cards myself. :) Rick ******************************************************************* Rick's FreeBSD Web page http://heorot.1nova.com/freebsd Ace Logan's Hardware Guide http://www.shatteredcrystal.net/hardware ***FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org > > I should also mention that 90% of the problems that > > I've ever had > > with SCSI can be directly linked to over heating... > > No matter how well you > > think it may be cooled... it always seems like it's > > not enough. :) (I once > > saw two exactly identical computers sitting side by > > side in a cubby hole > > running the exact same software where which ever one > > was on the right side > > would die.
