Fournier" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Quantum Hard Drives Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... After cursing with SCSI bus hangs for the past week or so, I've finally narrowed it down to what Gary told me...its the Conner 1Gig drive that is giving me the problems. Yesterday, I installed a second SCSI controller into the machine, moving the Quantum drives to one, and leaving the Conner drives on the other...the system froze up today, and the Adaptec 1542CF's "LED" was completely off, leaving the NCR controller being locked up. As such, I'm ditching Conner, getting rid of that drive and putting in a Quantum drive. Before I purchase one to replace the Conner...any caveats? Models that are known to have problems? I'm not going for a 7200rpm drive, as I don't need it, and don't like the fact that they run *so* hot. Thanks... Marc G.
