After doing some more tests on my HD24 I can cofirm that it was the actions of the unit that caused the 2 new drives to malfunction. I have just replicated this fault using a 60gb Exelstor drive (IBM) and again I have ended up with a drive that is useless.
My original Maxtor (30gb) drives still work perfectly in the HD24.
All I can say is that at the moment KEEP AWAY from IBM drives.
This has nothing to do with jumpers etc. etc. it is a fault with the HD24 which may only be my unit.
