take a look on segate's site for a firmware update for those drives.
i'm not saying that's your problem, but older AS drives (consumer)
have had firmware problems.
i'll just beat a dead horse here and repeat that it is very important
to choose a high-quality disk drive, and fewer platters leads to better
reliability. (fewer heads to crash.) here are the spec sheet numbers
i think are important
unrecoverable read errors < 1 in 1e15
mtbf > 750000 hrs (1% afr)
duty cycle 100%
unload cycles > 200000
mostly enterprise drives fit this definition.
