Have you activated spin-down? And would your spin-down interval be 5-10 minutes? In that case your problems sounds a bit like the one jeroen1000 and me discussed in another thread: viewtopic.php?f=24&p=114101#p114101
In that case I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for someone to help you - absolutely nobody at Netgear cared about Jeroens and my problem even though it was extremely well-documented and verified by separate sources. Once the guys have your money, they don't seem to care too much about your problems with their product anymore.

Yeah, that happens. The Seagate in my ReadyNAS Duo had the "overheat bug" from day one and had to be sent to Seagate for exchange.
