Should I see if I can upgrade the firmware for this drive?
Hmm, I just looked around on the manufacturer's web site (Hitachi) and
I couldn't find anything about a firmware update for a hard drive.
I have tried this drive in a windows nt pc on an adaptec 2940uw. The
drive was listed in the adaptec's scan. The controller can verify the
media and low level format it without problems, but while nt boots, the
systems appears to hang for 10 seconds every other 10 second interval
(assuming
due to a scsi bus reset).
This is an 'SCA-2' drive. I have a high quality SCA converter. Could it
be possible that this converter is causing problems? Or do the messages
indicate that the problem is with the drive itself?
