I found I was getting timeouts with this controller and exactly those drives even with the SATA150 jumper connected. In the end I got a PCI Silicon Image 3114 based controller and it worked fine. That said I gave up on the hardware as I couldn't get the motherboard to boot off the CF/IDE adapter so I got an AMD SB700 based board which works well (fingers crossed :) I didn't do any stand alone drive performance tests though. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBKwwXS5ZPcIHs/zowRAoA1AKCD0xKQmis2caFdrd/NU8LFz0aqsACfYN1s G6bdsvVLat8mRZPUOEEDMto= =dRku -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
