Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the "death of my harddrive."  For about a week now the computer has been making this sound (usually on cold boot in the mornings) I didn't think much of it because I thought it was my DVD-ROM (a cd getting stuck inside or something...) Today when it happend I quickly opened the case to find out the culrprit was the top drive in my RAID-0 setup =(. It sounds like its damn near close to death... A few days ago the RAID controller didnt detect the disks until I manually rebooted.
I've had the 2 drives for a little over a year (both purchased from newegg). 2x 60GB Maxtor D740X, ATA133 7200RPM 2MB Cache (in RAID-0 striping).
Here is a 2.28 MB movie clip... (doesn't sound healthy)  http://webpages.eng.wayne.edu/~al0769/harddrive.avi
