Sorry Ben - that drive was NOT a smart buy !!! Seagate Barracuda :-(
You MUST enable the timeout on this drive :-(
Gut feel tells me most 1TB or less drives are okay in a raid - the
Barracudas are an exception :-( I've got two 3TB Barracudas mirrored,
and from reading the list, there's no way I'd go raid5 for more capacity
without ditching them.
Most people seem to get WD Reds - I've asked about Seagate NAS but I've
not picked up on any reports about them - good or bad. Barracudas - the
news is pretty much all bad :-(
Yea, I figured that out -- just couldn't find a decent detailed reference with what "SCT status supported" means versus the more fully featured.
When I saw this, I assume it means you can ask for the status, and it
will tell you it is disabled, but there is no support to modify the
status (ie, turn it on). Totally useless for all intents and purposes....
Then again, I could be wrong... but compared to your other drive which
showed additional supports, or on my one here:
SCT capabilities: (0x0039) SCT Status supported.
SCT Error Recovery Control
supported.
SCT Feature Control supported.
SCT Data Table supported.
ie, the second one is probably what you want, the third allows you to
turn it on/off, and no idea about the last option....

Adam
