I have a CUSL2 right now, and I just got a new 80GB maxtor HDD, ATA100, 7200 RPM's. I also have a 40GB version of the same drive. When I try to transfer stuff to the new 80 GB drive, it is slow as crap! Any deas of why? I know the CUSL2 only has one ATA100 controller, and the new drive is on the other one, the ATA66. But it should still be going a lot faster than it is. I flashed the BIOS about a year ago, and I don't think that's the problem. I can transfer to the 40GB drive, and it is nice and speedy. Granted, the 40 GB drive is my primary master, and the new drive is the secondary master. I tried putting both drives on the primary ribbon, and it was still slow.
Is the CUSL2 such an old mobo that it doesn't recognize a hard drive as big as 80GB? That's the only thing I can think of. I did a diagnostic on the drive, as well as RAM, and nothing was reported. If I switch to the TUSL, will that fix anything?
Thanks for all your (anticipated) help!
