Mac vs. Momentus XT

Trying to get a new Momentus XT (ST750LX003) running on MacOSx 10.7.2. Cannot partition or use the disk when it is connected on SATA.
Error:

It takes ages for the mac to boot, seems to run in a timeout.

The disk is ok, worked on Linux and on the same Mac threw USB. Another disk worked aswell, so it can't be the connector or cable. Disk is connected in an optibay instead of the superdrive.

Copied 10GB per USB on the disk and after connecting it directly with the internal SATA the disk is unusable again.

any ideas?

Probably have a bad drive. I have a momentus hybrid drive and it rained fast. I switch to ssd now though. I use it as an external drive. Seagate momentus xt hybrid virtual boot - YouTube
