Western Digital HD's in USB Enclosures

When installing a Western Digital hard disc drive into a Macally PHR-100AC FireWare/USB2.0 External Enclosure, the drives jumper must be set to CS (Cable Select), its default, to work correctly when using the USB port.

With the WD drive set to Master, the FireWare port will work but not the USB port. With the USB port on a PC with Windows XP, the system recognized that a USB drive was plugged in, but is unable to access the drive.

All other brands of hard disc drives must have their jumper set to Master.
