causing computer stalling  Last response: in Storage  I recently
purchased 2x1TB Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA 6Gbps
and put them in Raid0 for Frap's video capture. These hard
drives are used purely for capturing RAW footage from fraps.  I
have 2x750 WD Blacks in Raid 0 that I was using before, but
noticed some sluggishness (that's a different problem aside I
don't want to get into). I installed both the drive's and put
them in Raid 0 right away. Then I loaded up windows and
formatted through Computer management option. They formatted
well.  Problem: Every now and then my computer will just
randomly not want to load programs, or close them quickly. They
take anywhere up to a minute to finally close. I can hear the
Seagate's being slighty active (different sound than my WD's).
It's not a performance loss, it's just like my computer is
saying.. "Nah, I'll chill for a bit".  Other Info: I have my
optical drive in Marvell serial ATA 6.0 Gb
