I got 2 Seagate 250GB 7200.9 from NCIX, one for me and the other for a friend
Mine is acting funny, do NCIX keep track of the serial number? Because there was about a month difference between the drives and I filled a RMA for the 2nd one since mine only had the repair option vs replacement

I've gotten a few BSOD (well my brother got most of them since i'm rarely home)
I got it once and heard the HDD stopped spinning, just when it was installing VLC
PC is newly built and not OC'ed

The drive is about 2 months old, here's the SMART reading from SpeedFan, it isn't normal is it?:

It vibrates alot and generate a lot of noise when seeking

Seems like I'll have to pay for shipping for both ways if I understood thier email right :|
Should I RMA it directly through Seagate?

First, download Seagate's hdd utility(i forgot the name)
Let it test the drive and if there is a problem. It'll spit out a code. That's usually what u need when u want RMA a drive.
