Well, this is better.

Use the web, Luke.

If you don't have a working ASPI driver loaded, this is exactly what I
would expect to happen. First things first.

Maybe, but who knows if it will be reliable. Auto should work with proper
cabling.

>Good point. More items for the 'Things I Should Have Known' file.

I'm a simple guy. I prefer to not create complications where there are
none.

Possibly, but Seagates are notorious for running hotter than the
competition.

Why? What are you going to do with the box that will require a fast
drive?

Sure. Logic says a 7200RPM drive is going to run much cooler than an 15K
drive. Quieter too.

But not with a a U160 SCSI HBA.

I'm sure he used the Shuttle as it was designed to be used.
