I've tried every combinaison possible of firmware and drive without avail. Even geom with raid confirguration would replicate the problem. I suggest that you go with a 3ware device which works perfectly in my cases (Production servers). Or a PDC20378 which also work perfectly with 5.4 here. (dont know about 6+ and kinda scare to try it.) Good luck. KOT MATPOCKuH wrote: >Hello! > >I got problems with my SATA II drives. > >1.
