It's important to know that this is NOT enabled by default on the Seagate drives I had. In fact, the tech that setup the hardware (incorrectly) at first did not enable this, nor did he use LVD cables, terminators, etc. I guess the point is that most of today's techs that are assembling hardware know little about SCSI, and know even less about newer incarnations of SCSI. I know I've learned a great deal, and I've been working with SCSI for upwards of 6 years now. --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using MI-Webmail.
