Sorry, i've got a Seagate ST51080A 1.06GB IDE drive which works just
fine (although i had a hell of a time figuring out how to get it going
in the first place, but i never got the write errors that you describe).
It's the most silent drive i've ever had, too. I doubt the problem
lies in FreeBSD's code, or, at least, that FreeBSD is incompatible
with Seagate drives.
