Ditto. I pulled (4) 9G HD's off a Sun Ultrasparc last week which were 
said to be acting poorly. Worked so-so on the Sun. Blew up big time on 
an SGI O2. Pulled the drives out of the case and found every single one 
had internal termination enabled. The installer didn't even bother to 
read Seagate's little book that came with the drives.
