This is a 3 week old 200 gig Maxtor diamondmax plus9 sata hard drive that was connected to an 11 drive sata raid 5 array on a 3ware controller card. I havent taken apart a hard drive in years, so I didnt know what to expect. The drive started "beeping" and making clicking sounds.
Yes, I realize this voided the warranty Here is what I found:
Are those marks on the platters normal? Or is this drive simply screwed?
