We had problems with one of the IBM 18 GB drives (also from OWC) that had been adapted from 80-pin to 50-pin. It was really slow to spin up. We could never get it to mount from a cold start up (it was fine on a restart). Even delaying the start up of the other drive in the C600 did not help. I went back and forth with OWC and IBM, and finally gave up and returned it. We ended up buying a true 50-pin Segate from OWC and are quite happy with it. (except for the fact that it cost more!)
My two cents worth...
