I've read a few reviews on the Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 250 GB SATA drive.
Looking at some customer reviews on the Dabs web site:
http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.asp...3,366860000,4294963789&InMerch=1&v=3#infoarea
it says the drive is shipped as SATA I
Does anyone know if this is has to be done once, or is a program loaded when the
machine boots?
I do *NOT* want to use it under Windoze at all, but 64-bit Solaris. So whilst I
don't mind setting a drive up once via Windoze, I can't have a drive that needs
it done eash time the machine boots.
The Tyan motherboard supports SATA II, so obviously I want to get the best
performance I can.

It is always of the form: month-year@domain. Hitting reply will work
for a couple of months only. Later set it manually.

Sata I mode and will give you failures in some Sata II systems (ie
Shuttle XPC's). You can set this in Sata II mode by downloading the
ftool.exe from the
following URL: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm
