Here are two screen captures of Owon vds1022i oscilloscope output for two of my armv7 -current installs. Both machines have separate power supplies with dedicated powered hubs for the disks. Both are running buildworld, goodpower in -j4 and badpower in -j3. Goodpower reports 5.09 volts DC level Badpower reports 5.23 volts DC level The "goodpower" host seems to have little or no trouble with disk integrity. The "badpower" host seems to experience subtle corruption but not outright failures Apart from the larger-amplitude "grass" on the badpower trace I see little difference. It's worth adding that I'm relatively inexperienced with the Owon vds1022i, so the possibility of a gross beginner error in making the measurements isn't out of the question. 20261023
