I guess don't buy maxtor if you have a via chipset then (although having
read all the problems lately, I will just stick to the WD drives I have
used for a number of years now with no problems).

Well it sounds like the hardware simply doesn't like the new drives.
Odd, I would have thought the drives would default to SATA1 mode until
they could negotiate faster with the controller.  I guess they don't all
do that.
