1.) The advice: get rid of WD MyBook Studio Edition
2.) they suck (I own one myself)
3.) they suck (google around... I can dig up some links if you want)
4.) You could use them over USB. I guess it is the only interface that
works reliably. I had sometimes below 10 MB/s transfers with Firewire.
5.) currently I use an exchanged drive. The first one never exceeded 40 MB/s
over eSATA.
6.) Just get rid of it ;-)

PS: You get 38 MB/s write on WD 320GB over USB ? That is "rekordverdächtig"
as the Germans would say. (in english "recordsuspicious", I would emphasize
the "suspicious" part myself.
