Ok it seems that the specs for the hdd are normal.

The fact you mentioned a 2 sec screeching noise along with the long seek/spin up time indicates to me that the spindle in the drive is possibly wearing out. You wouldn't receive any bad sectors just one day the hdd will make a clunk and not spin up.

I would recommended backing up all data on the drive and running SeaTools to see if it can help.

Ime, as the hdd gets closer to dying the sound becomes more frequent. It could have 6 months on it, it could be 6 weeks. I believe it is the Hitachi because of the spin up time. The Spindle is directly responsible for the spin up.

@Yusuf, you need to view Hitachi's raw attribute values as groups of hexadecimal numbers rather than a single value.

For example, the Disk Temperature appears to consist of three values representing the current (0x001A = 26C), minimum (0x000A = 10C) and maximum (0x0027 = 39C) temperatures for the current power cycle.

Similarly, the Spin Up Time appears to consist of 3 components, namely 0x0003, 0x00C1 (= 193 decimal), and 0x00BF (= 191). Perhaps these represent 1.93 seconds and 1.91 seconds, respectively.
