Unfortunately the answer presented itself very soon after posting the message. I pulled the hard drive out of the box, and tried to format it in a Windows machine. It occurred to me that the drive had not been formated and therefore had not had data written to all parts of the disk. Half way through the format I got an 'Unsafe removal of device' message, and upon reboot the drive was TOTALLY dead. It would be nice if FreeBSD had a SMARTY utility - it would have allowed me to possibly detect this failure. I've been told that work is underway to write one and it might be ready for 5.0.
