One for the real hardware gurus - and I know there are a few here. I have a relatively high speed video editing tower with 2 x 1tb drives; one stores most of the video files. (Avid) Recently when scrolling through a video clip I hear a very different stutter/buzz from that drive..Now
A. Is it on the way out? (I guess so)
B. What part of the platters/spindle fail at this point? It's a reputable 7200 drive around 2 years old.
c. I thought they were supposed to last longer than that...
