Got this drive as a 2nd HDD in the ODD bay in my laptop to play/store media.
Been getting drive failures and system crashes here and there.
Bought a larger drive to replace it and threw the m8 in the main bay, cloned the OS HDD to it and it couldn't handle the load and latter that night started to do wild arm flinging and crash the system. Swapped back to the OEM HDD.
Used Seagate Seatools but it did see a problem so I can't really send it back under warranty.
Did a format and ran drive check with fix file system for errors and recovery of bad sectors as per SG's website.
M8 is fine ATM via eSATA, but is there other HDD checkers out there.
Could the drive have been misaligned or some thing else.
I see a new firmware version out there.
This is the first time I had a HDD do this to me.
Thx, d.
