Large IDE Harddrives using 2.x

Hum,
do you mean you get checksum errors?

if so, then it sounds like the data is being sent too fast for the drive to cope with....
slow down the data stream...

[ HDtoolbox will have an option to do this.
f`s in the `MaxTransfer` to slow it down...> ]

And while you at it, you could also change the default `buffers` from 30 to 120 or more....





Anyone else?

Hum,
Apart  from a failing power supply,
my only other suggestion is to keep the data cable as short as possible, and away from magnetic interference... (is there  a internal shield?)

Perhaps invest in a new cable?
