[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI friendly external drive

[Daniel Kjar]

I have a 4 disk external box with both sata2 and usb.  When attached by 
usb the whole thing dropped after a little while, sata2 works perfectly 
fine (except my sata card will only see one disk ).  So I know it is not 
the drive but the USB that causes the drop.  this is with a 2 tb seagate
