[G4] Hard drive installation problem

[chx]

Hi Chaps,

Who'd have thought that 7-pass formatting was what was needed?

Clearly Kenneth has the (P)ATA version of the HD and not the SATA  
version (there's two links on the page he referred to). I suspect  
that the advance in 'plug and play' to which he refers is 'cable  
select'.

  I'd be interested to see what the difference in performance is  
between the ATA5 and ATA6 busses on the MDD. Perhaps Kenneth could  
benchmark  (http://www.xbench.com) some drive tests before/after  
moving the drive?

BTW, My QS2002/800  (sn#SG227B1BM1X) supports two 400GB drives on the  
ATA5 bus, and I believe all subsequent Power Macs will have 'large  
drive capability' (>128GB).

Regards,

Charles
