So really the only foolproof way to get this to work is to beef up the power supply, either by putting in a new one or by possibly adding some capacitors to aid in supplying startup current. It would be nice to be able to do a delay start on two of the drives, but it doesn't sound like anyone has had any luck finding out if Seagate or Hitachi support this.

This brings out another intertesting point. The 4100 starts up each drive one at a time, but according to rpmurray the 4100 power supply supplys 2 less amps on the 12V rail than the 4000. Even if someone cracks the LBA48 bit issue, I wonder if the power supply can handle large drives, even after spinup.....
