I have had some reports that the fixed Stratus firmware is not
sufficient to resolve all the problems, particularly in systems
with multiple Stratus drives, so you may also need to limit the
queue depth used with the drive by booting with the kernel command
line "BusLogic=0,7".
Is this true for Tempest drives also? I am going to buy two of them,
together with a BT-948 card. If Tempest drives are also affected,
does the workaround you suggest impair performance so much that I'd
better block the order and look for some other hard disk brand?
Thanks
