Or will there be no problem when I > buy a separate box to hold (and cool) the disks? I'm on my third set up of micropolis disks. Mine are smaller 2G variety (4421). All seem to exhibit the same behavior. The work fine for a few days, then they start spewing errors accross my screen, then they start causeing a crash or reboot every coouple of hours, and then they die. I'm having areally hard time believing three sets of bad drives, so I'm swapping my controller card (adaptec 2940) out with a newer 2940. *shrug* maybe swap the SCSI cable as well. None of these things quite fit the symptons though. The drives crashing does. *sigh* -steve
