I thought it was the 400 GB that were giving this problem, not the 300 GB? Did I miss something? It was my impression that the people who have had SNAP 4000's here had only tried drives at 250 GB and below except for 1 guy who tried 500 GB drives and had the power issue with 4 drives (too many platters and thus startup power needed), and then the guy here in this message thread using 400 GB drives and got proposerous sector count errors.

I don't mean to argue, but I have tried to read everything here on the forum about the 4000's (I have a 4000 and a 1000) and what I just typed above was all I have seen in drives over 250 GB posted here. In fact, when I first came here and asked about this subject, the guy with the 500 GB drives was the only one who said he had tried anything above 250 GB drives and everyone else pretty much said they didn't know.

Again, I do not mean to argue, but I want to make sure our information is correct and not getting blurred and confused over time because that can and does happen with so many SNAP variants, and even worse, versions of the variants out there. If someone has done this, then my apologies and PLEASE elaborate with more information please because this is the EXACT information I been trying to figure out without having to spend my minimal limited dollars on drives I may not be able to use and I just plain have not seen this information here on the forum.
