It’s been sounding like a dead fan bearing in the rack for a while, there’s really old machines in there. Turns out no! The drive did the screeching. I was stunned for a second when the noise stopped upon its removal.
Platter smoke. Don’t breathe this!

Gotta feed the fridge 👍

Don’t breathe this

Hm… To shreads you say.

Looks pretty, also you can play with magnets now!
Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situationIs that the Striped RAID I keep hearing about?

Looks … chippy.
