Sorry but I don't have either of those drives any longer as I couldn't log in to them once Ubuntu was installed. After the 1st one was exhibiting drive errors I returned it thinking it was bad. But the replacement was the same model and it exhibited exactly the same disk errors.
I can send you the info about my current system which has only used either seagate or hitachi (I can hot swap either) in the past. I *did* say initially that it "could" be a BIOS compatibility issue or maybe its just WD's implementation? But I've been doing this long enough that it wasn't normal and I have dozens of SATA HDs that I use but none are WD and none were this advanced format. My machine is fairly vanilla AMD quad core 940 cpu 8 G DDR2 Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2h motherboard I use a 1GB ethernet for a network connection All drives are hot-plug eSATA 1TB I'll send the output you wanted tho' On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 4:49 PM, Philippe Gauthier < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Brian!
