Hi, Currently I'm using a Seagate Wide-SCSI-Barracuda 2LP with an Apactec 2940 with FreeBSD-UP (with an WIDE to FAST Adapter). The drive performs petty cool...I've got no problems with it. I'm planing to buy the GA-586-DX board this week, an I hope my Barracuda will work with the onboard WIDE-SCSI-Adaptec.... bye Mathias
