Hello Andre,
Could you once again give me your expert advice, please? I think this 
drive is going to drop dead soon as it starts making weird noises after 
a few hours of working. If I shut down the laptop for roughly 2-4 hours 
I can work again with it. What is your opinion on the drive's status? Do 
you need any other information?
