[rescue] EMC Cassettes and schtuff....

[Andrew Weiss]

In addition if they are the Barracuda LC's they work fine since they 
have normal block sizes....

Let me guess... they came from HDOutlet?

I have 5 as well... two were DOA... after painstaking trouble and 
tracking down the phone number (leaving two messages; e-mails don't 
work... and they kind of take their time if it isn't the initial sale) 
they sent me factory refurb replacements... (which were in nicer 
packaging and sans EMC shell)  Overall the drives work nicely.  I've 
got a RAID 5 stripe out of 3 and a RAID 0 stripe with 2... both on 
FreeBSD 5.  They're in the Gateway NS-8000 I got from the dumpster in 
NYC... I also grabbed an extra HP Netraid 3channel 4943 card which was 
a spare in the office... grabbed a broken PERC II for the RAM... and 
it's now installed with 32MB of RAM... nice card... so I got another 
one on the way for the other PC.
