revchrisApparently the problem I was having yesterday where my disk swap was bogging down my computer was caused by the two disks mutually killing each other, and causing my computer to use 50-60% of it's processing power to deal with hardware interrupts.
One of the drives gives SMART errors ("One of the parameters exceeds allowed values"), had been replaced previously, and is no longer in warranty, so it's going to become refrigerator magnets. The other one doesn't give any error messages, but since it prevents my computer from booting into Windows, it will be going back to Seagate for replacement.
Now all I've got to do is finish rebuilding my backups (on yet another new drive). 30GB copied so far, another 90GB yet to go.
