Public bug reported: I am using a Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB external HDD via an eSATA connection, using Gutsy Gibbon. The drive is detected fine, and allows unlimited read access. However when I try to write more than about 100MB in one go, the entire system freezes entirely, including mouse movement, screen animations etc, requiring a hard reset. I originally thought it was the NTFS formatting, however I deleted the NTFS partition, and when trying to format it as ext3 it entirely froze again.
