Now, this has me thinking. Thanks for the hint, will check if this can cause such issues. Or, in otherwords, will using a 6GBPS capable drive on a 3gbps only mobo cause problems? Aren't these thingies supposed to be backward compatible? Or should I look for some jumber settings on the disk? (errrm... cannot find any - this is a SATA disk nothing looking like jumber connectors on it). -- Mahesh T.
