Two WD Raptors connected via SATA to my Tyan motherboard in my desktop since 2005. No drops. A varying number of Hitachi drives (both 500G and 1000G) connected via SATA to my Areca PCI-X controller. No drops. If you can find enough people with the same problems and co-ordinate, you might be able to reduce the amount of effort each of you put forward. If time is what it takes to reproduce, that's fine -- just figure out what a good upper bound is. Is 1 day long enough without drops long enough to say the kernel is good? 7 days? 30 days? -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss03@volumehost.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/
