Comment 5 for bug 583790

Sorry but I don't have either of those drives any longer as I couldn't log
in to them once Ubuntu was installed. After
the 1st one was exhibiting drive errors I returned it thinking it was bad.
But the replacement was the same model
and it exhibited exactly the same disk errors.

I can send you the info about my current system which has only used either
seagate or hitachi (I can hot swap either) in the past.

I *did* say initially that it "could" be a BIOS compatibility issue or maybe
its just WD's implementation? But I've been
doing this long enough that it wasn't normal and I have dozens of SATA HDs
that I use but none are WD and none
were this advanced format.

My machine is fairly vanilla

AMD quad core 940 cpu
8 G DDR2
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2h motherboard
I use a 1GB ethernet for a network connection

All drives are hot-plug eSATA 1TB

I'll send the output you wanted tho'
