I have the WD1007-SE. I also have a Maxtor 8760E. This drive requires this controller. The SE is a 15Mb/sec ESDI controller, as is the drive. The drive wont run on a standard controller. And if you drive is only a 10Mb/sec, I don't suspect you would see any improvement, if it runs. I found this the hardway trying to put one of these into a stock ESDI controller situation. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: uunet!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
