Having the cover off usually decreases the air flow around your drives since there is no negative pressure created by the fans in your case to pull air in through the face plate and over the drive.

This won't help you track down the problem. I would suggest modifying the driver so that it reuses the mailboxes in FIFO order off the free list (use a TAILQ). This supposedly fixed a problem on some bt cards that had similar symptoms. >Frank Durda IV <uhclem@nemesis.lonestar.org>|"Microsoft Support, can I help >or uhclem%nemesis@rwsystr.nkn.net | you?"
