I think you have driver issues. Might also be the cabling, but I doubt |
| 12 |
it as faulty SATA cables are in my experience quite rare. |

WD drives are known not to get along too well with VIA SATA1 controllers: |

What kernel version are you using? |
| 20 |
What does the kernel say when it first detects the disk? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Do you get the same errors under a recent kernel (try the latest gentoo |
| 23 |
install cd) ? |

My experience with WD "advanced format" drives has been positive so far, |
| 26 |
especially considering how cheap they are... The only gripe I have is |
| 27 |
that they report not only having a 512B *logical* sector size in the |
| 28 |
response to ATA INFO commands (which is fine, as they have a translation |
| 29 |
layer), but also a 512B *physical* sector size, which is wrong and |
| 30 |
causes partitioning tools to use the wrong alignment. |
| 31 |
All the five 1TB drives I have behave this way, and from what I read |
| 32 |
this is not an isolated behavior... |
