Yeah, the 540 works fine (and I am using it now, for lack of a better solution). I have two of the drive sleds and switching between the two does not make a difference. This is actually the second MPShuttle (they sent me a replacement for the first) so I don't think it is the portion of the sled in the MPShuttle.

The unit just does not seem to work with some types of hard drives. If Xeenon's claims regarding compatability are true than maybe I have just been really unlucky with the drives I have tried to use.

Interestingly enough, the reason that I tried two 27Gig Maxtors is because I read somewhere that they test the units with 27Gig Maxtors so I figured I had a good shot with them. Anyway, I am out of hard drives to try and I think that Best Buy is getting sick of me returning drives.

I will let you know how this all turns out.

p.s. Anyone wanna buy a MPShuttle II+? I am willing to let it go cheap ;-) I will include a 540Meg drive to get you started ;-)
