The drive was GPT and it was successfully converted to MBR. (and says
it is MBR)
However, the Mediasonic still says "No disk Detected"
The hard drive light is on, using an external power supply.
So, back to the genius at the Mediasonic forum.

Yes, made for more confusion, I'm too good at that.

I have spectrum at 100 Mb/s
When I DL an ISO image of Ubuntu Studio, I get an inbound stream at
13.6 MB/s.
That is my connection pretty much maxed out.
The exception is that I can get that stream coming in and still get
other 'sockets' moving at a pretty good clip too.
So I am most definitely getting full service at the advertised
rate.
Way better than fool service, but we end up that way when the bill
arrives.
Cable and internet should be about half what it is. The cable
companies are making hundreds of millions a month, and that is way
over their operating costs. Greedy bastards... that is what cable
companies are.
And all this "oh, you do not have that channel, would you like to
upgrade?" shit is lame too.

Very good. What can go wrong now? My guess(tm) is that you'll get
your questions answered in French.

I think your answer is the correct one. I think most others have
overlooked the fact that the common interpretation of a byte is 8 bits.

It must just be syntax.
Think 8 bit words.
So essentially divide by ten to make up for ecc and overhead.
Your post title is wrong too. It should be a lower case "b" as in
bits per second instead of bytes per second
Gb/s to MB/s

Now that I've been allowed to become a member of the Mediasonic forum,
I hope a factory rep will fill in all the details for the HW150.
