I have a fairly old Western Digital 45gig drive. When I boot a system with the drive installed the drive makes a noise that sounds kinda like a laser is shooting from it. It's being made by a speaker inside the drive, not by the mechanics of the drive. I can't find anything that tells me what it means, but I know it's not good (the drive just doesn't seem to work other than to make this sound). I just want to know what's wrong with it so I can possibly get my data off of it.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
