The platters on a HD spin from the time you turn in on until the time
you turn it off.  It takes about 7 - 10 seconds to spin up to speed and
about 45 seconds to stop spinning when you turn it off.  So...  If you notice
that it stops spinning while you have it on... Then there is a problem.
I too have a Q105 and have experienced some noise from it.  I've been told
however that it may be a lubrication problem.  It also doesn't seem to cause
me any data problems.  Its just that every once in a while, if I have a head acke, it iritates me.  My service people told me that the only thing to do is
replace it.
