    I have a seagate 7200 320gb sata drive in the ultra hd bay as my 2nd hd and it noticeably lags whenever I access it. The mouse pointer even freezes for a second. That kind of thing. Is there a setting that I have to change to make this lag go away?

    And thanks in advance!

    Download and run hdtune and post the results. Also, are you sure your active protection isn't set too sensitive, and your head is parking with any slight movements?
