That might help you identify specific devices. Also try nosing around in the sub-directories under /dev/disk And, perhaps an obvious question, but does the drive maker provide any device-specific drivers or utilities that might help? -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.

I think your best course of action at this point would be to purchase a $15-20 two port PCI SATA card based on a SiI 3512 chipset, any internal SATA data/power cables you'd need, and move the drives inside the PC. This will allow smartmontools, hdparm, and other utils to identify the drives, and you'll likely get a nice speed boost as well, especially if that PC has a 66MHz 32bit PCI slot, which will allow full bandwidth to both drives simultaneously. Newegg has everything you need. I recommend the Koutech 3512 based card. I have one in my server and it works very well. I gave $15 for it but I think it's up to $20 now, which is still very reasonable. You should be able to pick up the Koutech, 2 x 3.5" to 5.25" generic drive bay adapters if you need them, and 2 combo SATA data/power cables for $30-40 including shipping. If that PC has motherboard down SATA ports you're in business with no cash outlay, assuming you have SATA data/power cables. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Also, take a look into "/var/log/syslog" and search for error messages about the failed disk.
