If you bought the 7200rpm drive you're going to be peeved because there is a known issue with the drive where it basically "hangs" every few minutes. I hope for your part it's not the same drive. :(Quote:

I have to admit that I haven't noticed anything strange on my PS3. They also complained that it was a very "loud" drive after a week or two of usage.Quote:

That's what I thought! In my mind I always thought Seagate was a top-notch brand! Apparently they've gone down in quality a lot lately. Oh well, such is life. I'm glad to hear that you're problem is subsiding a bit! That's very good news.
Yeah thats very strange. Well lets just hope it keeps strong and doesnt happen again :).
Neo, it seems that updating my nForce SATA drives did the trick. You should share this news with the guys who you said it wasnt working for ;)
I had a desktop Seagate 7200rpm drive and it had exactly the same problem, every 30mins-1 hour it would hang the PC while the drive would spin up again. It was obvious it was the drive though since you could clearly hear the drive spinning up. I sent mine back on warranty.
