These are both western digital 2.1 gigs if i put both say on the primary controller, one as master one as slave -- the second effectively doesn't work, returning lots of messages like yours under heavy usage, my theory is that somehow the ide controller cannot handle two fast eides chugging out data and misses interrupts somehow, when they start making ide hard drives that use atapi protocol then i'll be happy.
