These are the models I have (old): ad0: 3093MB <FUJITSU MPB3032ATU> [6704/15/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33 ad1: 1040MB <M1614TA> [2114/16/63] at ata0-slave using WDMA2 ad0 is from 1998, and ad1 is from 1996. Fujitsu's also seem much quieter than other ATA drives. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
