Who are these "SCSI Toolbox guys"?
For years we would go to trade shows and customer sites, and people would
look at our business cards and say "P***** T***** I****** -
- Oh, you're the SCSI Toolbox guys". Well, yes we are! And to
help eliminate the growing problem of Global Confusion, we've changed
our
company
name to SCSI Toolbox Guys. Well, we’ve actually changed it to SCSI
Toolbox LLC. (http://www.scsitoolbox.com/about.html)
Perhaps LLC means “Guys” in some language or another. In
light of our latest product and driver improvements, some of our customers
have
suggested that the LLC in SCSI Toolbox LLC actually stands for “Less
Likely to Crash” - you be the judge. So, we're alive and well,
lean and mean, and 100% focused on making the industry's leading test
and diagnostic
tool even better.
Get on the STB training train
STB engineers recently spent two days on-site at a customer's facility
conducting training in the specific ways that the SCSItoolbox could be
used to streamline operations and increase product shipment. Seeing the
processes first-hand and brainstorming face-to-face with the engineers
& managers involved with product testing produced a number of custom
scripts designed to meet their exact needs. If you would be interested
in seeing how our 10 years of experience in the storage industry could
be put to work for your organization, call or email us today! http://www.scsitoolbox.com/contact.html
Be afraid, be very afraid!
The latest version of SCSItoolbox is now being tested, and will be released
for shipment on Halloween! If you are already a Performa subscriber you
don't need to be afraid - just go trick-or-treating knowing that your
Performa CD is automatically on its way to you. If you're not a Performa
subscriber - WATCH OUT! Don't let the Goblins of old version get you!

Ask Dr. SCSI
How do I quickly check a drive?
Double-clicking on the drive will show all important drive information.
INQUIRY information, interpreted for ease of use. EVPD data as well. Most
common MODE PAGE settings are displayed to show how the drive is configured,
along with LOG PAGE info to track the various error and data rates. One
double-click may be all you need!
