ahd(4) is known to have issues with certain Seagate model/firmware.  
In fact, there were numerous reports like yours:

There was a work-around posted here:

Some people had luck, some not.  Since you have ICH5, you have to 
modify the source to match ICH5, not ICH3.

Ultimately you should ask Dell whether they have newer firmware for 
the drives.
