The selected mode for data transfer is 1.5 - lowest possible, which might
mean that you have old controller or cable issue or some kind of
incompatibility. Old motherboard is also an option.
As Roco said - Seagate have bad reputation. Nowday manufacturers do not test
hardware with older boards/controllers - no one has the time to test
extnsively, so it might be that it works on some and gives problems on
other board.
