See, I have heard good things about these, and they were on a surprise sale, so i bought two of em. It seems odd that both of them show the same things in both vista and xp
Samsung Spinpoint F1 Series HD753LJ 750GB SATA2 7200RPM 8.9MS 32MB
Hi, I recently bought two if these drives for my machine but i am having trouble with both. When accessing the drive, it will run ok for a while, and then all of a sudden the system goes so slow that it only refreshes ever like 20 seconds. And if i hard reboot, the harddrive disappears from my bios and i have to unplug and plug it back in for it to show up (when the power is off of course).
The drive was formatred to a single partition in windows vista ultimate (x86)
Mobo is an Asus p5n-e sli
PSU is OCZGXS700 (OCZ GameXStream 700w).
Tried with two different sata cables and two different leads from the PSU. Both drives do this! Also, my previous HDD was a 320gb sata aswell.
I have not set jumpers or fiddled with anything other than doing an error scan on HD Tune Pro
Thanks for any help!
PS: I wanted to add that i've tried the drives in XP as well (same thing), and that all processes seem to go to 0% when the slow down happens (had task man open)
Heres some pictures of the sats settings in bios (as someone thought it might be that)
