What's wrong with this drive?

[Paracelsus]

Hard drive started playing up, some files were corrupt and MP3s played off it were skipping. Fails a self-test and HD Tach shows this...

A whopping 1.7mb/s transfer taking a mere 50% CPU time.

Checked the UDMA settings etc, all normal.

Anyone find this familiar?

Is it a SATA HD?

If so, try another SATA port.
