Maxtor Atlas 15k with LSI 53C1010 host adapter: computer suddenly shuts off
Computer worked fine with Seagate 18GB 15k hard drive, but shuts off
spontaneously when using the Maxtor 73GB 15k hard drive, either alone or in combination with the SCSI. Using no jumpers on Maxtor other than 5/6 to set it to SCSI ID#2. Ideas? |

Hows the termination look?

The cable has a terminator at the end, that's about it. U/160 devices don't
take terminators on the device itself. I may pick up a different cable (there a computer show in my area over the next few days), or move the adapter to another slot. The peculiar thing is that with the Seagate, I've had no problems, but at 18GB, it is too small (a 45 minute video file is around 14GB). It's even possible that my power supply is not adequate (430w), or that I need better cooling (the drive feels quite hot to the touch). I'm dealing with too many variables at this point. The least likely scenario is a faulty drive, but in my experience, it is more likely a configuration error rather than defective hardware. "dinkmeister" wrote in message . giganews.com...

The most likely problem is that the drive is overheating and shutting down. Mount the drive and get some sort of airflow across it. Your power supply is more than adequate to run seven of those drives. The drive is the first place I would look at for problems. Rita |

I will do something to cool it, and post my results here within a few days. Thanks for the suggestion. |
