Sorry, I missed the earlier thread. What exactly is wrong with this drive? I have the same model (4.0 gig one) with a scsi ncr symbio logic sc825 I believe with a cd-rw yamaha burner with it... and I have not experienced any odd problems. What did you mean it cannot dis / reconnect properly? Where / when do you get this problem? I have been running this drive for about one year, with no weird problems. However, my old micropolis 2.0 gig 7200 rpm drive (very fast).... died horribly. :( Head crashed.
