We recently received our first 600. It came with an internal wide 2 gig disk. On
the back is one wide connector and one narrow. I have attached 2 narrow disks to
the narrow connector. They seem to be on the same controller as the internal
wide disk. Is this correct? Is there a problem with mixing these? I am now
getting quite a few scsi cam errors that manafest themselves as advfs write
errors, and consequently cause a crash. Is this a hint that I need to dump my
narrow disks and get a wide one? If so, is this beasty Fast Wide Differential
or just Fast Wide?
