I think I've solved my Spin Retry Count problem

I had thought of using flat cables, but in the crowded conditions in my case it was pretty difficult to use them without moving a lot of stuff around. Plus the rounded cables gave better cooling. Just an update on this old issue. I finally got a chance to try the same drives with the flat IDE cables, and the results were the same as when using the rounded ones. Still no spin retry problem when using the SATA converters and cables, but the problem always crops up when using any sort of IDE cable. Something very strange going on there. Most dont get spin retrys with IDE cables. |
