 Noisy MAXTOR Hard Drive I've noticed that when my PC (running XP SP2) is processing information there is a small but noticeable noise, which seems to be coming from the hard drive. The noise is like a small 'drumming' sound. There seems to be no functional problem, just the noise, however, I downloaded and ran the MAXTOR utility (for windows) which gave instant fails on both the short and long self tests. Drive is MAXTOR STM3250820AS. Problem or not?       |

| Noisy MAXTOR Hard Drive It's possible it could be on the way out. Noise is normally a tell tale sign and their testing software failing backs that up I guess. Maxtor drives are also not the most reliable around, I've had many fail on me.
