So I'm going to run my machine with the other HD and if the freezing

Travelstar). But if so, why does it work in the 550? I'm using my HD in
that machine now. Something to do with differences of internal power
tolerances? I'm not sure at all, but all of the above is repeatable.
There are no logical errors on the disc that I can detect with software,
and it seems unlogical that logical errors on the disc would cause
problems on one machine and not on another? Or am I wrong?
My excuse for the week is: "little green men from Aldebaran"...
You've certainly got a peculiar problem, and quite possibly the answer in there, about minute variances in internal power tolerances, possibly just a mechanical issue with the connectors. A logical error on the drive wouldn't change from one computer to the other.
The only thing I could think of is some really strange stuff to do with the drive controller of one model versus the other, like a bug in the firmware.
The quick fix, of course, is just leave the drives where they are working.
