I did some investigation by swapping out the HD from my 6100 (HD purchased in 1999). Based on some limited testing so far, this seems to have helped. I'll do some more tests and look for another HD if it still looks good. I'm hoping the cable is OK, I'm sure the HD must have been swapped out since the machine (workgroup server 7250/120) supposedly came stock with I think recall reading 1.2G HD.
