That's strange, but intereting. I would run Spinrite on the drives. You may be hitting a section on the media that is using the Smart Tech to replace bad sectors. The snap OS is very very sensitive to timming.

I had problems with a new set of Seagates. It was a combo of 2 things on mine, bad sectors (back to back) and seek problems. Spinrite corrected the bad sectors, mapped them out. The seeks were not completly cleared, but minimized.
