I am just going based on what I read at the Seagate customer site - it
looks like the hang was during the processing of the ATA_CACHE_FLUSH_EXT

New drives are routinely buggy to some degree, especially ones that jump
up in capacity :-) Seagate has a well earned reputation for quality and
I will be surprised if they don't fix this issue soon,
Is there any new information on this? so far the only thing i can find
seems to be people reporting the issue, but no word from seagate..

I suspect that the drive is simply choking on the barrier related cache
flushing that we do - that seemed to be the MacOS error as well. The windows
comment suggested that windows had an hba/driver bug (most likely unrelated
to this).
If you want to avoid the issue until they fix the drive, you could run fast
and dangerous (mount without barriers on) or slow and safe (disable the
write cache).
