I only have one drive plugged into it. I thought it was odd tha /proc/ide/via only showed the cable as 40w also, but I assumed that was because my chipset doesn't know what 80-pin cables are...am I wrong? In any case, it's sounding more and more that there's not much I can do to remedy this problem. :/ Oh well, I'm probably due for a motherboard upgrade in any case.
