Hi
I have just removed my Seagate Barracuda ES.2 1TB as it is too noisy, lound clonking during disk access. Only installed it 2 weeks ago.
Seagate advised they have no AAM for this disk.
I have installed a Samsung EcoGreen F2 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 32MB Cache - OEM and have set the AAM to QUIET (using ESTOOLS) but since putting the drive in the HD box it is not responding quickly, for example if you stop a play back it may stay on screen for 5-10secs before the picture goes away! Also when recording some have failed!
Could this be the AAM? Is QUIET mode limiting the access speed too much?
Other options are FAST and MEDIUM but after the noise from the Seagate disk I opted for QUIET!!
Any help would be much appreciated
Steve
