I do remember problems with a few Maxtor drves working with these cards but it's been a year or more . So if you drive is new it shouldn't be affected but if you've had it a while it could be one of those drives with issues. I went to www.xlr8yourmac.com which is likely where i saw that info but couldn't locate it. Perhaps too much time has past since it was posted. I have seen reports that drives won't boot when setup as slave on the channel 2. You could also do a search of the forums at www.macfixit.com. Best of luck. Will S
