Skip– Quantum had a problem with their original ProDrive 40S (and possibly, other models) that involved their head positioners getting stuck; the firmware on the drive was changed so that the drive would do a "kneebend" periodically to avoid this from happening – it sounds like the drive being accessed. My friend's does this all them time, since GVP sent him the new firmware when his drive crapped. It could be something like this, although if the 105meg is an LPS drive (new design), I'm not sure.
