Are they dog slow after a *cold* start? My solution to slow Maxtor drives
was to fix the CPU fans in my machine and put the main drive in a bay cooler.
The drive wasn't spewing bad data, so it wasn't the drive controller
overheating. That leads me to believe that the motor (or the motor control
DSP) was overheating and degrading performance on that route. Trying that
will save you lots of hours toying with hdparm like I did :).
Good luck..its a sucky problem but once you get it fixed your machine will
seem like new!
