I've been using two ST3160827AS drives (firmware 3.00 and 3.03) connected to an SiI3114 controller using the libata driver (kernel 2.6.9) for a few weeks, at full speed, without noticing anything out of the ordinary. I can't say I have any heavy load, but I have done some moving around of huge files, and the usual compilation jobs. The drives are both new. Is there a chance Seagate have fixed the problems? -- Måns Rullgård mru@inprovide.com
