That is more of a negotiation problem with the SS20. I have used MANY IBM
Ultrastar drives in SS20's. In fact I have set up a customer with an SS20 with
2 36 GB Ultrastars. It is also possible you neede to set some of the other
parameters such as parity an such on or off (sorry fuzzy memory) Personally I
will not buy anything but IBM drives these days.
Cheers,
