It's a Samsung drive, but I've read that Seagate are currently the only ones making a native SATA drive. It's hard to find out the truth, and isn't it a bit misleading when they all advertise them as being UDMA/150? However, I don't think that explains what I'm seeing as ata2 also shows "SATA max UDMA/133", yet I don't have a device connected to it. Jonathan
