FC8/FC9 : 1To hard disk doesn't work

[jeanpca at free.fr]

   Hello

   On a linux box, I use an added card to provide sata connexions.  
This card is an ALI card, the M5281 Serial ATA.

   On this card, I connected a 500Go hard disk sata II with no  
problem: the disk is recognize, no errors in the messages log file.  
hdparm -tT works well with this hard disk

   on this card, on the second port, I connected a 1To hard disk: WDC  
10EACS. the disk is recognized well but a lot of errors are written on  
the messages log file when I try to write a large file (36M) or to do  
simply a hdparm -tT on this device. The problem is the same with FC7/  
FC8 and FC9.

   # cat /proc/version

cat /etc/redhat-release

   The problem is the same if I have only one partition (1To ext3) or  
two 500go ext3 .

Is there a problem with my WD hard disk ? or is it a problem with 1To  
hard disk sata III ?

   what about 1 To hard disk and Fedora ?

   Thanks in advance for your help

   Cheers
