Thanks for the info. Yes, I agree that the stepper motor sound is very nice, probably on the par with an old ST-225 and ST-251.

I found the Silverlining here:https://www.lacie.com/us/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10052

Is this the right version? It looks a bit newish, but it seems to work on my PB G3 Wallstreet under 9.0.4 wiithout problems.

I am currently formatting this drive, and it throws up quite some read errors, but every format pass I do, there are less errors, so it is promising.

Less promising is the fact that it throws 101 erros when running Drive Hardware Test, under Drive's internal memory-test...
