Seagate Hard Drive Random Freeze Problem

If you’ve recently purchased a Seagate 1.5TB or 1TB drive you need to read this blog post from Robin Harris.

The quick scoop is that these drives can pause or hang up which causes your RAID to think it has failed, or it can cause your computer to freeze.

The reports are that the drive freeze itself doesn’t corrupt data, but failure of your RAID could lead to a loss of data, as can hard crashes and freezes of your system.
Check your drives and make sure you aren’t at risk, and if you have experienced some problems since you purchased a new Seagate hard drive, this might be why.
