Hi grinder
Thanks for the response
Thanks again

I put in a 5400 mainly because it is brand new and I already had it.
But also because the original HD was 5400 and did OK.
Also power consumption and heat were a factor because this 2nd drive is in an optical bay caddy.
I still do not know what sata mode is supported with this connection.
SO rather than spend $ on a new 7200 6gbs that may only connect at 3gbs, I used what I had. My 5400 drive will run at 6gbs if the caddy/optical drive supports it.
Have you experienced and issue like this where the root cause is the HD rpm?
