they're SATA drives, Western DIgital 4000 FYYZ drives (the RE4 ones) ... the hardware is bought ... as SATA drives these ones work the best we've tried, the HighPoint should have worked in Linux/FreeBSD ... and it does if we put in a random bunch of old Seagates, but the shiny new WD's fall over until the machine is rebooted.
I'm willing to take any advice on a card/solution to get the SATA drives working, even if the OS turns out to be non-solaris, within the limits of most of the procured hardware.
