ZoneFlex outdoor access points uniquely combine dynamic beamforming and adaptive meshing to enable a new level of outdoor performance at the lowest cost. Built to withstand the harshest of outdoor conditions, they’re designed with the flexibility to function as standalone APs or as managed devices, using the same wireless controller as their indoor Smart Wi-Fi products. If no Ethernet cabling is available, the outdoor AP meshes seamlessly with the indoor access points.

VGA, DVI display interfaces to bow out in five years
Intel and Advanced Micro Devices are phasing out chipset support for VGA by 2015, which could discourage PC makers from adding VGA ports. PC makers would need to add a separate chipset on the motherboard for VGA connectors, which could add to the cost of making a PC, O’Rourke said. Advanced Micro Devices has announced it would phase out chipset support for DVI by 2015.

What do these SATA errors mean?
For SATA drives, occasional transmission problems are expected even on otherwise pretty healthy systems. No need to worry about it too much unless the problem repeats itself a lot.

This error occurred on the drive using the hot swap cage. I wonder if perhaps the circuitry on the cage is iffy. The circuit board on that cage is about the simplest board that can be designed — it just maps wires from one pin connector to another — that’s it.
Perhaps the centos install is OK after all. It’s intermittent which is bad. Looks like it might pay to use higher quality hot swap cages. Tomorrow I’ll try another brand and investigate this further. Here’s another pertinent point. I’m seeing this exact same error.

That’s your drive reporting that it saw transmission error on the wire.
What Are Dynamic Disks and Volumes?: Storage Services
Dynamic disks were first introduced with Windows 2000 and provide features that basic disks do not, such as the ability to create volumes that span multiple disks spanned and striped volumes, and the ability to create fault tolerant volumes mirrored and RAID-5 volumes.
Dynamic disks offer greater flexibility for volume management because they use a database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and about other dynamic disks in the computer. Because each dynamic disk in a computer stores a replica of the dynamic disk database, Windows Server 2003 can repair a corrupted database on one dynamic disk by using the database on another dynamic disk.

I am unsure as to why this is done at the OS level.
