Correction, the 74GB Raptor is still not a pure or native SATA device,=20 it still uses the marvell PATA-SATA converter chip. Its true that it=20 supports TCQ but thats the same old way as the IBM deathstars used, and=20 not directly comaprable to the new true SATA NCQ way of things. > Anyhow, I am wondering if this issue has been resolved yet or not, > either in FreeBSD-current or 5.3-RELEASE-px.

If you want 24/7 uptime, you *really* should be bying hardware of a=20 quality that matches that, the SiI3112 is *not* in that league, not even = close. --=20 -S=F8ren
