Yeah... I'm trying to get all the Seagate Medalist UW drives out of our
current news server... they don't like the DPT-3334UW card in there The
second data silo just gives errors when hooked up to it.

Though I must say, all 15 of our other servers running the same DPT cards,
tho with many fewer drives, run fast and well, but my faith in them is
starting to waiver.

Replaced it with Adaptecs, and it works fine... not a driver problem, but
even DPT support said that they don't work well with the Medalist line.
They reccommended Cheetahs instead, but I'm now going to rely on IBM
exclusively.  I've had enough of Seagate's crap after roughly 40 RMA'd
drives in a little over a year.
