[QUOTE="Peter2, post: 695264, member: 24945"] Hi robbo100, it took about 20h to format the drive - guess that's the downside of having bigger disks. I don't know if this would have gone faster if the drive was hooked to an onboard sata port. It's just like mm1352000 says, and what I have always known and done: you better full format a new drive to make sure that there are no errors. In the meantime, I have copied my data over by hooking the disk to my linux machine by using the ntfs-3g driver which works fine. mm1352000: did you experience any issues since you updated the firmware?
