Hi Brian! There seems to be people that have been successful in using the new Advanced Format drives with Ubuntu, so it is still possible that there is some incompatibility specific to your hardware. It would help us a lot to have more information. You can attach the system logs and information automatically by running the following command in the Terminal:
