That hasn't been my experience. Though the same can be said
for long SCSI chains. I've had a device in "the middle" fail
and hang the SCSI bus on a number of occasions.
These days, I just use the 3Ware IDE RAID cards. Each disk
is on its own dedicated channel so if it goes "splat" it won't
tear down the others.
Cheers,
