[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1314736, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. Could well be a faulty drive. They come that way pout of the box on occasion - rough handling etc. When you formatted it, did you run Repair Disk over it and if so, what did it say? Suggest you try putting it in bay 1 if it is going to be your boot disk, and trying again. Then try another drive in bay 4. If this gives problems, run Apple Hardware Test extended mode. The only time have seen a Mac Pro SATA connector fail is when some one has been mucking about inside trying to connect Airport and Bluetooth cards, or connecting dual power leads to the motherboard for a upgraded graphics card.
