Well, my experience is that if you do somthing like that on ANY amiga drive 
you get errors like that.  I've had my AIR drive for a month now and I can't 
complain, it's quiet and I have had no errors that surprised me (in fact I can'tthink of any drive problems I've had except one that was caused by a virus).

So I don't know, maybe I just got lucky.  

Another nice feature is the rather long cord on the drive, by making that 
DF1 and my Commodore drive DF2 I can finally put the drives in a realistic
place on my desk.
