So it seems to me, that the dilog is to slow for the 15 MBit data rate of
the drive.
(it misses the next sector ?)

I checked it here, with the maxtor xt8760 and get same results.
(formating with interleave 1, appr 8 hours, interleave 2, appr 40 minutes)

smaller & older drives (10 MBit and below) have no problems with interleave
1.

cheers,
emanuel
