Vista - WD Raptor Locks Up

At various different times my WD Raptor will lock up for appx 1 minute and
then continue on what I was doing. It is erractic as it will do it at
different times i.e. checking email, surfing the net or an application on the
computer. This is a new hard drive with Vista Pre installed. Any ideas?

Bad drive. I just put together a new VISTA system with a Raptor 150 gig
and had no problems.

I have similar problems. Mine freezes for 8-10 seconds though. I seen another
post from a guy w/ a similar issue at a different forum.

FWIW, I've seen the same when my WD Raptor drives are enabled. I
disabled them for the moment (In the BIOS) and my system has been stable
since then.

Insert something clever here.

I'm just curious if any of you have reported your issues to Western Digital?
