IBM 75GXP - Click of Death - What does it sound like?

[davidstone28]

Saw this thread about IBM 75GXP drive failures:-
http://www.tech-report.com/news_reply.x/2799/1/

Can anyone describe the sound?

(or better still does anyone have a link to a URL with the sound on say mp3?)

[ris]

i've no idea what it sounds like but a clicking hdd is never a good thing, it might make a light 'data-accessing' noise but not a serious tick tick tick noise

if you do get it them immediately test the hdd with their d/l drive fitness tester.

not all 75gxps will make that noise - i have heard first hand accounts of catastrophic silent failure of 75gxps that took the motherboard and processor with the it

it is more of a clinck clonk noise not a single 1 the sounds are just after each other
