[CUBE] Barracuda IV reports 31.5 GB!

[Francisco Romero]

Ricardo:

I had to reset the bus speed to 66 MB/sec (Default is 100) at drive  
from a Windows NT PC, using the uata100.exe program from Seagate, and  
the reformat it with NTFS.

After that, it came back with 79 GB.

Thanks all.

Regards,

Francisco Romero
