Im running two Maxtor drives in a RAID 0 config.

Every now and again, the drives will make a very funny loud whirring noise followed by a click

whirrr, whirrrr, click click.


I cant work out why it's doing this. It generallly occurs while there is activity though.

In XP it was fine, the system would freeze up for a moment or two until the disks went back to normal. Now that I'm on Vista, when this happens the whole computer locks up.


Any ideas whats causing this?
 
Yes, thankfully i got an external disk for xmas..

These drives have always done this ever since i put them in RAID 0, they're fine without the RAID.


So what drive is everyone recommending right now, for speed & reliability?
