AFAIK, nForce4 does not have any problem with sata-I disks. And out of |
| 7 |
sata-II, WD are the only drives which work without problem (I did not |
| 8 |
know it before, just now I have read a few forums and mailing lists, |
| 9 |
full of complaints about sata-II & nForce4). But with all other sata-II |
| 10 |
disks (Seagate, Hitachi, Maxtor, Samsung) nForce4 has really problems. |
| 11 |
Sometimes switching the drive to sata-I mode helps, sometimes not. |
| 12 |
But if you have WD, you are lucky... |

One more thing: the latest revision of nForce4 (which can be found |
| 15 |
on latest and rather expensive boards) has fixed it. Unfortunatelly, |
| 16 |
one can not know which chipset revision is used on a certain mobo, |
| 17 |
until you buy it, dismount cooler, and check chipset... |
