The Promise SATA150 TX2plus controller may be causing all the trouble. = Here are my VERY BAD experiences with it: 1.) March 2004: Bought a brand new Maxtor 160GB SATA with SATA-to-PATA = Adapter (until I buy a PCI SATA card). 2.) June 2004: Bought Promise SATA150 TX2plus (SATA-to-PATA Adapter goes = back to the box) :) 3.) September 2004: Maxtor 160GB breakes down :( 4.) October 2004: Bought a new Chieftek case with 360W Chieftek PSU and = a new Maxtor 200GB. Exchanged almost everything, except motherboard, CPU = and memory. 5.) November 2004: Maxtor 200GB SATA breakes down (same simptoms as = 160GB) :( 6.) Bought a new Seagate Barracuda 200GB SATA. 7.) 28.11.2004.: After just three (3) days, Seagate breakes down (same = simptoms as before) :( Today I found your mailing list on FreeBSD.org, which makes me think = this Promise card is to keep hands away from!!! I wait for Maxtor 200GB to come back from guarantee exchange and use it = with SATA-to-PATA Adapter again, then I'll know. Kind Regards, Rade Seslija ------=_NextPart_000_00BC_01C4D616.A4091620--
