    Should a hard drive really sound like this?

    We got in a laptop that was "broken" (yup, some customers thinks that’s a reasonable description of the problem ) and my co-worker turned it on and heard something he first thought was a failing fan.

    He removed the hdd to make a backup in case it had to be sent in on warranty and, well just look for yourself

    That can't be good... perhaps it needs to be defragmented? And by that I mean open it and clean the bits of broken metal out.

          Sounds more like my moped when one of the piston rings (correct word?) had broken
