Yes - I have a 5150ES, it works fine for my backups... My only problem in running it has been a slightly questionable SCSI cable... it works like a champ. I put it in it's own external box for moving around... the SCSI-3 <-> SCSI-2 cable I'm using has a transient short in it; so I have to "jiggle" the cable every now and then... other than that; things work great! Older versions of FreeBSD had issues with the aha2940 (I didn't notice which SCSI controller you head) which were fixed in later versions. If you have an Adaptec 2940 - I'd suggest upgrading to 2.2.6. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
