Weird, ICH7 + 7200.7 combination is very widely tested. Can you please post the result of "hdparm -I /dev/sdX" and "smartctl -a /dev/sdX" where sdX is the offending drive? So, if you connect the drive to a different port of the controller using a different cable, the problem follows the drive, right? Thanks. -- tejun
