If your 40 died, you could put the 80 in another computer and get the files. You would not be able to boot into a system, though (unless you have an OS on the data drive).
My hard drive would do hard stops when reading a lot of data (you'd hear it reading hard.. and then bam.. it'd do a loud click and stop.. then it'd start again). A friend of mine's hard drive would stop.. he'd tap/kick the harddrive/computer.. and it'd start up again.
