The drive in my ci does the same thing. I've got a Storage Dimensions
(read Quantam) 105 MB internal.

I've just been assuming that it's doing the occasional ROM directed seek
to keep the lube on the head assembly from gunking up ala 80 MB Quantam.
Now wasn't THAT an elegant fix for a fundamental design/manufacturing
flaw...

Anyone know what's really going on? I mean with these drives, not the
world in general.
