Slow Hard Disk on Multitask ?
So recently, I recently bought a 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10. And well, everytime I try to do 2 different things on it at the same time, it's slow. I mean, you'd expect a slowdown of some sort on any machine I guess, but it's more than that here.
I use this HD to store my music. The other operations I use it for are copying new music to it, encoding new music, or raring music. Well, the thing is I can't do anything without having Winamp skipping. I try to copy something, winamp skips, I winrar something, winamp skips, I have someone downloading stuff from my FTP, it skips ... I know it's not normal because I used to do all these things without a single skip on my old HDs, which were theoritically of lesser quality. So what's wrong? Any ideas? Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Yaha ! It worked ! ^_^
It was in PIO eventhough I could have sworn I checked that already. Desinstalling the device and rebooting twice worked. I'm in DMA5 now and no skipping whatsoever. Thanks Grawl! <3 Most amazing jew boots |

It just did it again today. Went back to PIO mode. I'm gonna run that seagate tool thing now...
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

I didnt have the problem occuring again, so I've got to admit I conveniently let the issue slip aside for now ... Besides, I bought the drive in one of those Chinese shops that never take back anything so I would have to use the builder warranty and ship it to the Netherlands, Bulgaria or whatever their centers are ...
But yeah, again, didnt have the problem happen again so far ... How ya doing, buddy? |
