Cabling... most of troubles caused by cables for me - it is reason I do not believe external devices. Most of IDE breaks was long ago - last about 3 or 4 years ago. SCSI drives breaks are quite regular - 1 or 2 in at least 5 last years. this is for about 50 SCSI drives near me and about 3 times more IDE drives. This is my expierency - you have another. -- @BABOLO http://links.ru/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
