I have ST15230WC driver in SUN enclosure working just fine for me, using
PM2044W, AHA1510, AHA2940 controllers. I have SYM810 but I have not tried
it with the drive yet. The first drive I used had some bad blocks on it,
so I tried low-level format, however my power went off before it finished
and nothing I could make after that. Fortunately we have all our Sun
hardware under maintenance, so I just called service and replaced it.
Works with no problem.
Eugene.
