I've tried using camcontrol to force the drives to 40MHz with camcontrol negotiate pass0 -R 40 -a Current Parameters: (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): sync parameter: 12 (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): frequency: 20.000MHz (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): offset: 15 (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): bus width: 16 bits (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): disconnection is enabled (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): tagged queueing is enabled New Parameters: (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): sync parameter: 12 (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): frequency: 20.000MHz (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): offset: 15 (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): bus width: 16 bits (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): disconnection is enabled (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): tagged queueing is enabled but have had no luck. camcontrol still sees the drives (same thing happens for pass1) running at 20MHz. darkalpha# camcontrol inquiry pass0 pass0: <SEAGATE ST318203LW 0002> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device pass0: Serial Number LR8602750000102347N0 pass0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled darkalpha# camcontrol inquiry pass1 pass1: <IBM DMVS09V 02B0> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device pass1: Serial Number F8050A8975 pass1: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled darkalpha# camcontrol negotiate pass0 -cv Current Parameters: (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): sync parameter: 12 (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): frequency: 20.000MHz (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): offset: 15 (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): bus width: 16 bits (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): disconnection is enabled (pass0:sym1:0:3:0): tagged queueing is enabled sym1: SIM/HBA version: 1 sym1: supports tag queue messages sym1: supports SDTR message sym1: supports 16 bit wide SCSI sym1: supports MDP message sym1: HBA engine count: 0 sym1: maximum target: 15 sym1: maximum LUN: 7 sym1: highest path ID in subsystem: 0 sym1: initiator ID: 7 sym1: SIM vendor: FreeBSD sym1: HBA vendor: Symbios sym1: bus ID: 0 sym1: base transfer speed: 3.300MB/sec dd seems to support the 40M/s speed (this was on an UFS1 partition, not that it really matters): darkalpha# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.file bs=1024k count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 104857600 bytes transferred in 6.363323 secs (16478434 bytes/sec) So, is there anything else I can try? I wish I knew someone in the area with a "known good" motherboard that plays nice at UW2. Thanks, Josh
