I plan to use it as a backup solution with SAT= A-USB convertor. But first I decided to conduct the test you want. So I've = installed this drive into my home PC. Connection type is pure SATA, without= convertors. I've created misaligned 10G-partition: kibab-desktop# gpart create -s GPT ad7 ad7 created kibab-desktop# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 10G ad7 ad7p1 added kibab-desktop# gpart show ad7 =3D> 34 2930277101 ad7 GPT (1.4T) 34 20971520 1 freebsd-ufs (10G) 20971554 2909305581 - free - (1.4T) Right now I'm running phybs -w /dev/ad7p1 Please write me what additional tests should I conduct. I may delay feeding= this disk with data for a while, if it will be useful to obtain some impor= tant numbers for you and FreeBSD community. --=20 Regards, Ilya Bakulin http://kibab.com xmpp://kibab612@jabber.ru --Sig_/qUbCQjWoMz1j6l62yJ8_JcN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkx40kYACgkQo9vlj1oadwgb/QCgv0iiM/8cDIJTa4upMHYstv5x rdYAoMoFxqufB6iJrSriRFBVAhsy4bwG =9aP/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/qUbCQjWoMz1j6l62yJ8_JcN--
