Is such a delay normal? If you hotplugged it, sometimes drives don't respond too well and takes a few retries to talk to it. How long did the whole thing take? And is it always like that? > One more question, what do UDMA numbers mean in SATA context? The internal > SATA disk is "ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133", but should be SATA-2. 1.00 is port 1 device 00 and UDMA numbers don't mean much to SATA devices. Thanks. -- tejun
