Hello!
I have an ST277R-1 hooked up to an Adaptec 2372B controller. It works
great, except one thing... the drive's activity light is always on. Does
anyone have a similar setup and problem, or know why this occurs? Is
it something wrong with the drive or controller? Or just some weird
little harmless fluke?
BTW, I also have an activity light on the case hooked up to the contoller
card, and that light only comes on when appropriate.
Thanks for any info!
- Paul

If you had 2 drives you would find that the controller wasn't picky about which drive it left on. It's not gonna cause any damage.
