Hi.
Problem: Seagate's SATA drives doesn't change to "write mode" when the SATA controller is from Silicon Image.
Solution: Change your drives to Western Digital or Maxtor. No more solutions found yet.
I tried to solved it 6 months ago and finally that was the best solution. It's a Seagate failure, not from Silicon Image.
Yes, that is what I am going to do. From all the stuf that I read on the kernel mailing list and other places, it seems that the best option is to avoid the Seagate drives. So I am in the process of getting Western Digital drives.

I suggest the WD Raptor 10000RPM, I consider it an excellent product, it has been running for about 1 year, 7x24, as a part of a database server under my maintenance control. SuSE 9.0 + via chipset on KT6+AMD2500XP. hdparm -t /dev/sda reports 54.7MB/sec. Regards, Martin On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 15:06:11 +0200, Andre Truter <andre.truter@gmail.com> wrote:

I have a similar model, the Atlas. The capcity is modest, 36.7 GB, but the performance is awesome: 10,000 RPM 4.3 ms seek 8 MB cache % hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 322 MB in 3.02 seconds = 106.64 MB/sec Of course, you need an Ultra-160 or Ultra-320 SCSI interface to achieve that transfer rate.
