True video of my (broken) Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9, beeping like it had speakers, but it doesn´t.
It seems like this DiamondMax series has this problem of locking the heads and when trying to unlocking them, its motor vibrates and produces this sound. Weird, but absolutely true.

By the way, I didn´t manage to fix it. As far as I know, there is no fixing it, so I opened the HD, destroying all data completely.

  • Either it was knocked over, dropped or not used in a while to get the head stuck :p

  • The HD was not knocked over, neither dropped. And it was in full use when it broke. But I think it was a little overheated, as the pc case was mini-atx form factor

  • STOP RINGIN ME!!!

  • Stiction. That's your problem.

  • Ha! Sounds pretty funky if you ask me! I've had pretty good luck with Seagate & Maxtor drives myself though!

  • @faxmanloveswaffles I've had a Western Digital fail on me with a bearing issue, so WD aren't foolproof either (indeed, no brand is) - and we have 3 old 5400 rpm Maxtor 20 GB drives that work perfectly. ;) And, no, I don't hate WD - I have 3 WD drives in my two machines, along with 1 Seagate and a Samsung drive. (The Maxtors aren't in either of my machines)

  • Can I use the vid for trying to remix it? Please? It cries for a remix! :D

  • For a single second, I thought my telephone's ringing. :D
