@devlin That sounds more like it's needing an extra oomph or something.. Maybe it's not the drive, then.. Maybe it's the CPU..? Like the drive's going "click click click" as normal, but with all the expansion work to do, the CPU can't keep up, so it tries to draw a little more power, but the expansion packs are draining all the extra power..? ... Does that make sense? Might not even be power, might just be CPU cycles..
