OS 3.1 cannot handle drives bigger than 4 Gig without patches.  You have to apply either the TD64 patches or the NSD patches (or maybe a combination of the two ... not sure).  Search on Aminet for them.  Or upgrade to OS 3.5 or 3.9 as they both can handle drives bigger than 4 Gig.

There’s another thread here on how to change the maxtransferspeed...

MaxTransfer is NOT a speed, it's a SIZE setting.  For IDE drives, it should usually be set to "0x1fe00".
