Hi... Having just thought about it, I looked into the scsiformat command that exists under FreeBSD. Doing a 'scsiformat -w sd6' on the QUANTUM LP240S GM240S01X 6.4 drive, I get: hub# scsiformat -w sd6 QUANTUM LP240S GM240S01X 6.4 Mode data length: 31 Medium type: 0 Device Specific Parameter: 0 Block descriptor length: 8 Density code: 0 Number of blocks: 479350 Reserved: 0 Block length: 512 PS: 0 Reserved: 0 Page code: 4 Page length: 18 Number of Cylinders: 1818 Number of Heads: 4 Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 1818 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 1818 Drive Step Rate: 0 Landing Zone Cylinder: 0 Reserved: 0 RPL: 0 Rotational Offset: 0 Reserved: 0 Medium Rotation Rate: 0 Reserved: 0 Reserved: 0 Three seconds until format begins... Formatting... this may take a while. If I do just a 'scsiformat sd5' on the other, identical QUANTUM drive, I get the same data, except the following two are different: Starting Cylinder-Write Precompensation: 0 Starting Cylinder-Reduced Write Current: 1900 Does this make any sense to anyone? Thanks...
