My WD 40G drives always work without a hitch.This is true, but ssssshhhhhhhhhh...not so loud. My Dell workstation is endowed with a 40GB WD and it's never given me a problem and it's running XP, Mandrake and Redhat. I don't think it knows yet that it's a WD so I don't want to give it away.

Civilme should be here on this one. If you do a search through the
archives for Civilme + Western Digital you'll find a more complete
explanation but if I remember right it has something to do with the way
WD has chosen to not follow DMA standards. Linux does rather strict
checking and WD doesn't so WD drives can be problematic.
