Heh, I wonder if there's been some firmware spying between Seagate and Hitachi..
because my two Hitachi 750GB drives can be made to have the same problem.
Triggers quite reliably (perhaps 1/5 attempts?) by running "hddtemp"
(to read drive temperature) during heavy I/O. Bingo.
I imagine the smartmontools would have a similar effect.
Cheers
