It's not the grounding strap. It's certainly bearings.
I tested the drive some more and decided it had too many
errors anyway, so I'll junk it.

Dave,
You haven't got anything to lose but I think anything that will penatrate
into the bearings is also going to penetrate into the disk chamber. Check
and see if it isn't the grounding strap first. They're notorious for making
noise.
