I'm assuming the drive is unrecoverable (ie it's not worth risking my data to try and run the Maxtor tools on it and "repair" the drive)... so it's up for replacement in the next week or so.
You may try to slow down the drive. I got one that was about to fail, but decreasing the speed, using Maxtor utilities, from 66 to 33 helped and it still runs.
I think the only hypothesis supported by this observation is something related to the electronics. Possibly a damaged cable or out-of-spec bus driver circuits on the mainboard or in the disk drive.
