problems w/ sca->68pin adaptors

[jungle]

I have two servers at remote locations that use adaptec 2100s raid cards w/ seagate sca drives, these drives have sca-68 pin adaptors on them. In the past 18months i have warrantied 3 drives. One of the servers started crashing on a semi regular basis. I won't go into details unless someone requests, but anyways I ended up calling adaptec, thinking the raid card is f@cked, as soon as he found out that we used adaptors, he said he wouldn't warranty the card, cuz adaptec nor seagate support adaptors, and they are usually at fault. I was pointed this link at seagate:

at the very bottom in the disclaimer....

SO....how many of you use these adaptors? how many think they are an issue? a few of my friends say that adaptec is on crack......

ive used them and never had a problem. i can understand seagates position, ie not offering tech support if you are using the adpter. after all, the drive was designed to be used with the proper card.

what are the details on the server crashes? what makes you think its the adapters?
