It’s been sounding like a dead fan bearing in the rack for a while, there’s really old machines in there. Turns out no! The drive did the screeching. I was stunned for a second when the noise stopped upon its removal.

Platter smoke. Don’t breathe this!

Is that a Will It Blend reference?

Just spray some WD-40 in there, format it at half the capacity, and send it!

You got this 👍

It’ll go way faster than 5200 RPM if you do that
