I'm not ruling out DOA on the drive, but everything involving formatting it, installing onto it, etc., seemed to work with no issues at all. I bring this up mostly because I realize that the SATA driver is reasonably new and may still have bugs. Someone far more advanced than me would have to verify whether or not it is a bug at all and/or fix any bugs in that driver. The best I can do to help is offer any requested info and mention the problem I'm having. :) Dave On 6/9/06, Eric Anderson wrote: > Dave Stephens wrote: > > OS Version: FreeBSD 6.1 > > > > What appears to be repeated failures keep occurring with the SATA > > drive or controller in my server.
