I use caddies in my lab. I have found that for UDMA-33 or lower, you don't have any problems. However, for UDMA-66/100 drives and controllers there are problems. Even if you use the correct UDMA-66/100 caddies and cables, I still have communication problems. I have seen corrupt drives, etc. Therefore, if a system uses UDMA-66/100 I will use a 40-pin cable and older caddy. You lose some performance, but it's a lab environment, so it's not a big issue.

During the first week we have had 2 drives go down with damaged clusters. I am considering the chance that the caddies or their operation are causing the problem. Any ideas?, thanks, Pat Beardmore ----------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
