The drive passes all of the low level tests when I use the Maxtor PowerMax testing software. When I put this drive under any heavy load, I get a "kernel: adxx: detached" error, and then I can't reattach the drive using atacontrol. My motherboard has a "nVidia nForce3 Pro SATA150 controller", and when I researched the problem, I've notice that people have firmware issues with this combination. So, I bought a "SiI 3512 SATA150 controller" to eliminate this issue, but I'm still seeing the same error. Does SATA just not yet work under FreeBSD? Anything that I can do to try to focus on the real problem? Thanks, -SR -- Stephen J. Roznowski (sjr@comcast.net)
