I've got an ASUS P5N-EM HDMI with an nvidia i630 chipset. This works with my main hard drive which is a Samsung 80GB SATA drive and I've tested other SATA drives on there which work fine. The chipset can handle SATA 1 and SATA 2.

The suspect hard drive is a: Seagate 7200.11 1TB SATA drive.

The drive does spin up and keeps spinning when the OS is fully booted. Sometimes though it makes some bad noises. If I could somehow increase the timeout maybe it would skip those bad parts of the drive.
