What operating system? What file system (FAT32, NTFS, HFS, ext2, etc...) is
in use?

The file system probably took a hit when you unplugged the drive and it is
now inconsistent. I'd be a little surprised if that caused the computer to
slow down appreciably when you reconnect the drive, however.

Personally speaking, I'd save myself a lot of trouble and exchange that
drive for a different brand. I've always had terrible luck with Maxtor hard
drives.
