At some point the drive just locks up hard and linux is dead in the water. The funny part is that I can't find anything on Seagate's site admitting to a problem with the version of the drive that I have. There was some other guy with the same model and same firmware that also noticed the drive locking up once in a while. Mine does it within 6 hours of me streaming data to the drive. Seems that the data direction is very important. It needs to be a write of several 1GB files for my system to lock up. At this point, I'd be happy to just turn off whatever feature is triggering the drives firmware bug. I'd turn off NCQ from the linux end if there were any documentation on how to do it. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
