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!

I've taken apart most of my failed drives over the years. For laser pointer projects that never come to fruition.
