This is my second Maxtor 250 gig DiamondMax Plus 9 drive failing on me. Its full of data too and I have just ran a diagnostic on it and it told me the drive was failing, Im really peeved off with Maxtor now. 
Yet another DiamondMax Plus 9 failure.

These drives run very hot, mine is at 56c and looking at the data sheet 55c is the optimal operating temp. And I have a 80m fan blowing on it too. 
Ok after I have transported nearly 250 gig of data from my drive, I ran the test again and it told me there where errors on the drive and did I want to fix them. I did fix them and it then said the drive had passed.
So it seems maybe the drive might be ok? I might run it again and see what happens. If you say no to fixing the errors it tells you the drive is failing, the reason I said dont fix the errors in the first place was I needed to backup the drive first, if that makes sense?
Very strange, but it seems ok now.
