I am not sure... sometimes after boot into the OS, the HDD led still blinking like many thing is loading... then sometimes when i browse through the folders inside back n forward, then it took a long time to display the icon again... dono is the OS slow or the problem from the hdd. but i only face this kind of problem from this seagate. my previous WD dont have this problem.... i am just worried that the drive may die suddenly... damn seagate... still dont want to fast fast release the firmware.... making me and everybody keep worried on the hdd...

ur HDD led stay busy symptom is exactly same as my seagate 500gb bought on April 2008.
the problem just surfaced these few days after i put the drive in horizontal condition.
when this happened, the system was frozen, Drive LED stayed on.
i just get in-patient and reset the system.
sometime, during boot, bios detected disk read error.
i checked the cable, it didt come loose.
after that, i put the drive in vertical condition, the symptom never happened again till now.
i checked the link, it stated the drive didt affect.
