The sound of a hard drive gone bad
Written by Professor Messer   
Friday, 25 April 2008
It’s one of the worst sounds in the world – a hard drive mechanism that’s gone bad. It’s even worse when it’s the sound of YOUR hard drive that decided to up and die. Unfortunately, one of my hard drives recently decided to bite the dust, but I thought I’d use the untimely demise of my hardware to provide you with some insight on what you (or your clients) might expect to hear when a hard drive starts going south.

During the troubleshooting process, I’ll sometimes ask if the problematic hard drive is making a “clicking” noise. If you aren’t exactly sure what the clicking noise of a bad hard drive sounds like, this audio clip is for you.

I took apart my hard drive enclosure, put a microphone into the unit, and powered it up. The sound you hear will be of the hard drive spinning up, the hard drive mechanics “clicking,” and the hard drive spinning down. It retries the process before powering down for good.







For those interested in the details, this was an external USB 2.0 Western Digital 500GB MyBook. After dismantling the enclosure, I found a 3.5” Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD5000YS drive. This was a SATA drive that was powered through an external power source and connected to my system through a USB 2.0 port. It was manufactured on August 6, 2006.

All of my family photos for the last five years were stored on this hard drive. Fortunately, I had a backup – do you?

The Only Book Exclusive to Nmap!

Secrets of Network Cartography

There's only one book that dives into the details of Nmap, and you've found it right here.

There are a lot of reasons why people have been saying such good things about our book:

  • You don't have to be an expert.
    We start at the beginning and teach you everything you'll need as you progress.
    Even if you've never used Nmap, you'll be able to follow along.

  • We don't miss a thing.
    We detail every scan type, every ping type, and every configuration option.
    We even found a few that weren't in the documentation!

  • What's really going on?
    We've documented Nmap's network interactions so you can compare what you see
    on the screen with what you don't see happening over the network.

  • But wait - there's more!
    We've included a few bonuses, like our Nmap Quick Reference Guide that shows
    every Nmap option at a glance.


There's all of this, and some additional bonus features thrown in for good measure.
