The down load from Adaptec (4.0.860) is a patch. Need a full version first. I would upgrade to 3.4.805 and stop there. It works a little better on the older machines. 805 support HD >137 gig. Most users have stopped at 300 gig, because they are alot cheaper than 400 - 500. As for MFG, stick with Seagate or Hitachi. DO NOT BUY a DRIVE THAT IS EIDE, these cause problems with the older units.
