The noises from my harddrive. Any ideas?

[supermaug]

Here is an audio file of what my hard drive sounds like.

It is a WD1600JS-00MHB0. I accidentally connected both sata and legacy power. Also possible that power supply failed.

Removed PCB and cleaned connections. Nothing looks burnt.

Any help would be appreciated.

awwwww. this doesn't sound good...

If you don't need the data, then RMA the drive but if you want to recover the data, send it in to a data center for the diagnostic and estimate!! Most places provide the free diagnostic.

Good Luck!!!
