I guess I was not clear enough... the drive does spin up and maintains
a steady speed. No whirring, banging or high-frequency screeching like
that heard in drives that have gone bad. And, just after issuing the
boot command, the drive can be heard seeking. So there is nothing in
the sounds that it makes that confirms death.
