On other mailing lists, from people at the drive makers. Also, I'm a
C.E.T., FWTW (not a lot, it just shows I'm more hardware than most).

Ouch, so you haven't a really hot drive, 5400's weren't normally that
hot running, but one that isn't well enough cooled, or is possibly on
its way out. :(
What happens if you prop it up for a couple of inches worth of air
under it? Lots of those things sit right down on the table, as if
they're trying to use the table for a heat sink. Wood and similar
stuff isn't so good at that :)
