I got problems with the 'cuda, I've tried it with two different controllers - Adaptec 19160 and 2940UW, both with latest BIOS updates, and they only recognize the drive as 180GB. Just wondering if anyone had a problem like this and if you know how to fix it?

Probably a bad drive, or you need to partion the rest of the space.

Get the latest BIOS for your system. Also doublecheck the terminator(s) (if you've got any).

Are you sure its not showing the interface speed.. IE 40MBPS... which would indicate its running in SE mode?
