                  Well none the sounds match the sounds of three harddisks that I own over the years. Fixed each time by DFT programme.
                  Still IBM haven't made as many faulty hard drives as Fujistu have before they pulled out of the ide business.

                      Hmm... That slow spindle motor.wav took me back to 97/98... 3 hdd's had the problem... 2 WD, 1 IBM...

                      I'm very glad I haven't heard those sounds since though, and I'm hoping I'll never hear it, nor the other sounds ever again!

                                      I don't want to sound anti-hdd here but those sounded really really cool! (the two bottom ones only)
                                      Titanium is the new bling!

                                          Yep, they sound cool,

                                          But I hope to never hear those sounds come out of a hard drive.

                                              Rugger, since you happen to have an IBM 60GXP hdd you're quite likely to hear these sounds. I have had the Hanging motor with one that died and another started doing it as well some time ago - still only after a cold boot, so I do not shut down the system anymore.

                                                  Are IBMs SCSI drives better ? I'm currently running an Ultrastar 36 LZX, and am thinking about buying another similar IBM harddisk...

                                                      Don't know. I have an old SCSI IBM DDRS drive and that works fine. But then the old IDE IBM HDs are said to work fine as well.
