I bought a Maxtor D740X 80 GB hard drive a while ago (model 6L080J4... actually the one i got first was the liquid bearing model.. just can't remember which letter was different) and it started making some wierd noises. It would make a clunking like sound that sounded like the heads hitting the side of the drive (that's the only thing i can think of that would make this noise) so I returned it and got a different one (this one wasn't the liquid bearing one because it wasn't marked on the outside of the box so I couldn't tell whether or not I was getting the liquid bearing model) and a while ago it started making those same noises.
Has anybody else experienced this.
Also it seems to have louder reads and writes than a new hard drive should.
There's no errors when I run the Maxtor software that checks the drive integrity.... but I really don't want to lose all the stuff I've got on it either.
