Hello, the very same problem with my KAMA2 and IDE HDD connected to it.

I had my KAMA2 replaced 3 times already and it is clear that not only it has a power problem when 2 devices connected but an internal device programming problem too.

I connected an old IDE HDD (700mA power consumption) to KAMA2 as a single device, the HDD was unable to produce read rates faster than 1MB/s. Also, tried to copy a 100+MB .rar archive with single device on KAMA2 connected - WHEN copying a large rar file FROM KAMA2 IDE HDD to the notebook internal disk - the archive suddenly became corrupt - CRC error.
Now I understand why Nero showed CRC errors when I tried to burn files larger than 100MB from a KAMA2 connected IDE DVDBurner. It is a weird internal error, possibly lame programming.

I got serious doubts about Scythe selling this crap 5 months after I reported this problem in another thread. Shame on them. My last KAMA2 replaced device has a production date of 20071202, maybe the problem has been solved since then but it seems that there is nobody from this company that could make a clear statement about it... Simply they don't care.
