Dion,
brand new, but, according to the specs, the HD is UDMA 5, '100Mb/s'
(must've picked up a cheap brand..)
is there anything to be done to enable 'max transfer speed', apart from
setting UDMA in BIOS ? and, use 80wire ribbon
No it should be fine as long as its enabled as UDMA in the bios. Some
bios' let you manually
choose UDMA levels. I'd just leave it as UDMA enabled and as you say,
use the 80 wire cable.
Happy to help. Hope it all goes well.
Cheers.
