earlier firmwares for the ST3250310NS were a little buggy in my 
experience, so you might want to look at upgrading it (latest Seagate 
non-OEM firmware is SN06), which can be done with hdparm.

I should say that I've "cross-flashed" Dell's MA0D on SN0x drives too, 
and that seems to give good stability.
