Problem with new WD 1TB SATA "Green" drive

After installing the WC10EACS-00ZJB0 (1 TB green SATA drive), TI 9.1 Workstation begain stalling for literally minutes each time you start a backup or recovery operation (when trying to bring up the dialog asking you what to backup, or where to look for archives).

The latest version of DD10 also hangs on startup while "analyzing partitions" in the progress box.

The drive is on SATA2 and is not the boot drive. Before adding this drive, I had a 500 GB WD drive on the same channel with no issues.

Both programs seem to work fine after this intial (but VERY long) delay.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

In the case of DD10 this long delay seems to be associated with numerous event log messages (System Events) that repeat over and over.

Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from the TrkWks service.

Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from the ShellHWDetection service.

Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from the dmserver service.

Please create Acronis Report and Windows System Information as it is described in Acronis Help Post. Please keep the drive in question connected and powered on during the creation process.

If possible, please clarify, was Windows Vista ever installed on any of the drives that are currently in your system (including the new one)?

Could you please also clarify, what do you mean by "green SATA drive"?
