Default Re: Snap 2200 - Mirror Problems.

As usual the SnapOS hardware is very limited in what it likes. There was a time that Maxtors would not even be reconised. This may fall into the 24bit file structure that the SnapOS uses. The WD may be using a smaller sector size. My guess is WD has a utility for setting this.

I'm not a fan of Maxtor's. I have had 2 DOA and several fail in 1 mo. And when they fail, make sure you have a immediate spare available. I have seen these fail within days of each other.
