An upgrade to the firmware for these drives (which is supposed to be done by the vendor, but was not done on the drives we got from Corporate Systems Center) is available free from Seagate if you cry a lot. The upgrade is in the form of a tape which automatically upgrades the firmware, and works in both the 4584NP and 4586NP (DDS1 and DDS2, respectively). The oddest problem was that these drives did not work properly (under MS Windows NT with ARCserve) until we turned off the IDE controllers. (I realize NT is not FreeBSD, but a previous thread discussed the reliablility of these drives and I'm hoping the person who asked the question earlier can find this message, as well as anyone looking for the answer in the future).
