That won't necessarily help! We have some 'Premier' one that hung my
vxWorks driver - until I sussed what was up.
we had:
- 2 cards that didn't respond to the 'identify device' command
- 2 cards that reported an incorrect LBA size (due to 2 missing bytes)
  in the identify response.

We sent them back - but the came back from the distibuter unaltered
(ok he probably put a MBR, PBR and dos filesystem back - but we didn't
want those....)
