I do have a tall Antec case, and have both 200's and the 160 in 5 1/4 inch trays so the cables for those are long (36 inches IIRC).


Hmm - 36 inch cable, makes me wonder if that is what is causing the problem in UDMA133 mode. IIRC the ATA spec says 18 inches, but most cables seem to be ok at 24 inches. 36 inches may just be tipping things over the edge...

Oh sorry I should have mentioned that my testing was done with standard length cables and there was still all the problems. I just got the 36 inch for the final placement of the drives, and there seems to be no change when I switch the cables.

I'm glad that it looks like running it at 100 will solve this. Thanks for the replies. I was probably going to go through all the hassle of getting an Asus board to replace this because I was almost certain it was hardware, but I don't think it's worth it as long as this works :)
