it's the heat, when maxtors heat up, they will make grinding noises and also freeze your computer and such (most of the time the computer resumes after the grinding part). I only was able to see this phenomenon during the summer, but only with my maxtor. that's why i'm not gonna get another maxtor hard drive...

I never heard a problem of heat causing a grinding noise in hard drives, incliding Maxtor drives. To be on the safe side, run a SMART HD monitor to see if your HD is acutally failling on you http://www.ariolic.com/activesmart/index.html
