Here's the whole story. I bought an MX2424SE off of ebay that had a Glyph brand jump drive tray. The HD that came with the bay had been reinstalled into the internal socket. I bought a new seagate cheetah scsi drive along with the recorder to use in the Glyph brand jump bay. Upon receiving the recorder I could not get the new drive to work with the jump bay. I only got a "media too slow" along with "media is corrupt" errors when I tried to format and initialize the drive. However the internal drive worked fine and I thought "oh well, at least the internal drive that it came with works, maybe the other hard drive is defective." I proceeded to experiement with the recorder for the next few days and everything seemed great until a few days ago It developed this weird intermittent rumble in all of the analog outputs. I fretted over it for a day or so. Posted on Geaslutz some guy said it could be a dirty connection in the power section etc. Okay. But then today I powered up the machine and a few hours later out of nowhere the Hard Drive made a loud click and seemed to shut off and restat and the whole machine proceeded to freeze. I could not unmount the disc, I couldn't do anything other than watch the drive busy light illuminate for all internity. So I shut the machine off. I restarted the machine and tried to continue to record but eventually I got a "media too slow" error and again the machine froze. I couldn't get it to do anything other than have the busy light on. I have repeated this a few times now and I realize that it is bad to shut the machine off before unmounting the hard drive but I don't seem to have any choice when it is frozen up. I am in the process of trying to back up all of my files via ethernet so I can try formatting the drive. The things that seems a little odd to me is that when the drive starts to have problems or when it is working hard the display screen flickers...like there is some system wide power issue that makes the drive shut down. I don't know. Any thoughts? Glyph drive no worky. Weird noises in the output. Internal drive suddenly shuts down and the system freezes...
