ATA Drives

Your Adaptec 2400A controller supports ATA/66 and ATA/100
hard drives only. Use ATA/100 cables only.
For best results, RAID drives should be as similar as possible in
terms of capacity and performance. All drives must be set to the
master setting (factory default). If previously used, format the drive
in accordance to the manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid
mixing ATA/66 drives with ATA/100 drives in an array.
