Which Seagate SATA HDrive did you buy?
If it's the 7200.9-series, it will have SSC enabled as Larry suggested. If it's the 7200.8-series, they do not have SSC enabled by default. If the drive was a retail-boxed HDrive, look on the bottom of the box and read the model number, and post it...it'll be "ST3300xxxxAS"... and also post the PN (part number).
If it was purchased as an OEM bare drive, get the model number and part number off the top label on the drive.
I find it very suspect that a new 300GB Seagate HDrive would have SSC enabled...it's usually the larger drives where it's a problem: 400GB and 500GB models. But who can say for sure until you can tell us which exact model HDrive it is.
