Hmm.. Perhaps that could be a thing. The controller is hooked up to a Compaq Proliant Rack with Compaq original disks, and they usually terminate correctly. In any case there are no options to do it in any other way. Perhaps I should try to play around with the termination options on the controller in its setup.
Any more ideas, anyone?

I am using one of these cards in a SuperMicro case. I used a terminated cable to connect the backplane and flashed the firmware to the latest version. It has 5 Ultra 320 196G Cheetahs connected to it that have been working well for just over a month now. I believe termination may be the cause of your problems. The card appears to be working well for me (so far) and I wish you luck with yours. I could not get the Storage Manager software to work. I loaded the browser edition listed for the Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 2810SA. I could then use the command line software that came with the card. The following script compares the output from the command to a known good output and emails me in case of trouble (some lines may have wrapped). #!/bin/bash # =====> Change the following line to whom should be notified # mailwatch=louis@ldrit.net # host=`hostname` # cd /usr/local/src/raid rm raid.current.config /usr/sbin/aaccli open aac0 : container list : disk list : task list
