something weird turned up when I reinstalled Linux (actually two
things):
that system told me that the new drive was a slave (in their terms /
dev/hdb).
well I know that target mode on desktop only gives you the primary
master drive.
I didn't know that laptop drives could be set to slave ...
Also probably not related the drive although fast takes 5 or 10
seconds to wake up from sleep (that is when the machine is put in
sleep).
Linux also said something strange about "this drive has multiple
logical sectors per physical sector which we support *experimentally*.
It works ok though.
