try to set the jumpers on the HDD

[Pez]

Check always the jumper settings on HDD. The normal is that they are set default to SATA I.
This becaus of compability to the old SATA I standards. Then the manufactures know that a customer can start using the drive but not at the optimal prestanda.

Second thing to always checkup on new HDD (and regual also on old one) is that you got the latest HDD firmware. This both for prestanda and for fixing firmware fails.

E.n.g. for some year ago Seagate had some problem with som HDD. Ther vas that the read/write head got locked in a end posision under some circumstances then the whole HDD got use less and no fix was working. But if you upgrade the firmware before this happened you had no problem.

You have also possiblity to do the same on CD, DVD and BlueRay players/writers for the same reason. In this ther is also possiblity to get more optimazied burning info for new media and manufactors. I had some problem with an brand new burner when ther got new medias out in the market. I got large disposed of medias because of incompability but this was fixed with a firmware update of the DVD.

Update of driver and firmware on this thing is almost as importent that updating of BIOS and drivers for the motherbord and the graphic card.
