CS is only interesting for (and should only used by) OEMs since all you need is a CS-cable and you do not need to set jumper. Stop it. Do not do it. Even they have problems with this, because some mobo/drive combinations just do not like it. Second, what happens, if you stop using the raid controller and connect the harddisks to the ide-controller? Third, what happens, if you download drive fitness test or any other of the manufacturers dos test proggies and let it run? -- [email protected] mailing list
