    Are you running both drives off the same cable? I recently installed a
    second ATA drive onto the same cable as my primary drive, and then
    experienced frequent lockups under heavy loads. After switching the drive
    to a seperate cable, it has been rock solid, currently 39 days, where it
    was lucky to be a couple of hours before. This is on 8.1.
