Slow spin up of the drive / failing drive is a pretty common problem. Also insufficient power / failing power supply.

As previous comment said, have you done the A590 power hack on this unit?

Only do this if you have a card reader or SCSI2SD (or similar solution) installed.  It works with an old-fashion mechanical hard drive, but the amount of power they draw can be pretty high and is not recommended.
