So, it has to do with a mechanical "error" ?
Could this message be the result of inadecvate cabling/termination and
use of Ultra speed ("sync. 20Mhz"), or is it surely a error from the
harddisk itself ?
I insist on this because so far during the test period (3-4 days,
24h/day) it gave just this error but only when I switched from non-ultra
to ultra...
Of course, there were also those initial MEDIUM READ ERRORs that gave me
the fear of defective hardware, but that was with ultra speed too...
