I wouldn't be so quick to assume it's working right. Notice in the messages above: "full speed". You don't want to operate a 500 GB drive at full speed. This doesn't explain why the drive failed to work at full speed in your earlier test, though. Whatever the reason, you should verify that it really does work at high speed.
