Possibly, though it could just be that a cable is loose. I had this
problem when a power connector became slightly loose. Worth checking
before buying a new disk anyway. :-) If it isn't that, I think I'd go
for a new disk, certainly make a backup as soon as possible.

FreeBSD releases, AFAIK.

Seagate, huh... No comment. :-) The last seagate I bought died within

Fireballs.
