Cheers,
I have recently installed a SATA Maxtor 6Y120M0 hard drive in my
system as a second non-raid hard drive in my system. I currently have
the Uber Bios 1004 SATA Enhanced bios installed, along with the
1.0.0.32 Si drivers.
My issue with this SATA drive is that it appears to be non-responsive
at times and just hang. When this happens, I will occasionally here
the hard drive making "clicking" noises. I have reformatted the hard
drive in addition to using the Maxtor PowerMax utility to ensure that
hard drive checks out as good. I had the same problem even with the
Asus 1004 bios and 1.0.0.29 drivers also.
I am trying to understand whether this may be a driver or system
issue, or maybe the hard drive is bad. Since the maxtor reports the
drive is good, it seems that they would not RMA it.
thanks for any guidance.
