Recently, my second hard drive has been acting very choppy while under load. It seems as though it locks up my system anywhere from 2-10seconds every couple minutes. It gets really annoying when this happens in games. I checked the transfer mode to make sure it's on DMA mode and it's on DMA 6 at the moment. Anyone know what this issue could be?
 
Re:

Hello,

What are your system specifications? Are you sure it's your hard drive causing your system to lock up?
 
P4 3.06
1G Ram
Two 160GB HD's

When ever I use my slave drive, that is when the choppiness starts, be it to extract a file or play a game stored on the drive. This just started recently and it's a fairly new drive. Not sure what the issue is.

Edit: After being in a game for 10-15min, it starts to run smoothly and normally again.
