I'm in the same boat with my Maxtor 54098U8. It has been getting progressively slower. Two weeks ago I was getting a whopping 3MB/s, now I get:
/dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 115.29 seconds =568.44 kB/sec
My CDROM (ide-scsi) is faster than this!
# time dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/dev/null count=32k bs=512 real 0m8.443s
= 1.8MB/sec
The wierd thing is that I don't get any errors, but I have just switched from emacs to vi. :-) I ran Maxtor's powermax.exe and their 90sec test hadn't finished after 20 minutes so I rebooted. :-(
Same results with 2.4.9 - 2.4.17.
