Have you all optimised your new drives so they dont run in 16bit mode? http://linux.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/272
hdparm -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3 /dev/hdg works a treat on my drive. I found that if i messed with -X it made it go slower, the bios sets the disk up as UDMA 2 already. and that -c3 is the saver version of -c1 I'll probably create a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d then sym link it to the runlevels when i get time, but rc.local is fine for the moment.
