In many hundreds of hours of doing nothing but random write/read testing using UDMA on properly configured systems I have seen two (2!) CRC errors and in both cases the errors did not happen on the immediate retry of the command. In my opinion if you are seeing a lot of CRC errors then you have a badly configured hardware environment, probably a bad cable. Switching to MW DMA or PIO might just expose you to undetected data transfer errors. *** Hale Landis *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** *** Niwot, CO USA *** www.ata-atapi.com *** Subscribe/Unsubscribe instructions can be found at www.t13.org.
