    This seems to be a good drive until I play music and do something else like Word etc. This baby will lockup iin an heart beat.

    If I play music by itself no problem.

    Because never had this issue with my other drive which was a Samsung and I did a fresh install of everything twice.

    Run HDtune and check the SMART health monitor and then do a full Error check.
