I bought this drive to put in my new dell (quad processor,4gb ram, vista) and the system drive works fine and has very fast file copy. howver copying files to the seagate is extremely slow and retrieving files is slow as well. The drive makes a constant clicking noise when being accessed, sounds like a piston chugging along. I ran seagate smartools on the drive and it said the drive was working fine.
is there a difference between sata1 and sata2 cables? are can both drives use the same type of cable?
any suggestions? I'm ready to return the drive for a refund. and I just found out newegg.com charges a 15% restocking fee. tigerdirect doesn't seem to charge that for returns so i may shop with them exclusively from now on
