just bought two 500gb seagates (7200.12 ST3500418AS), put them in in raid0 using nforce on my asus m3n78-em without a problem. they were quiet, things were going well. this morning, clicking. loud, annoying clicking. windows started getting sluggish. rma requested at newegg, will be going with two 640gb wd black drives instead.
at the time i thought even though everyone is complaining about the seagates i'd give them a shot at the price. since they were new with a single platter i figured it was worth a shot... wrong.
just for reference, this is the best hdtach i got with these drives:
but i was also able to get this one when it was acting up:
