It was surprisingly hard to find real concrete information about this online, searching via Google (other than typical "did you try [totally irrelevant troubleshooting step]").

The old HD I'm using in my O2 is _very loud_.  The typical loud whining noise from old drives that I've heard described as "failing bearings".  Is this something a person could reasonably resolve/repair themselves?  I do most hardware repair myself, including replacing PCB components (as long as someone has identified the proper one to replace -- I am no electrical engineer haha)...  Any helpful info anyone could share on this would be appreciated.  Somehow I just can't find definitive info regarding what is physically causing the sound, other than occasional comments about failing bearings.  Not much for me to go on!

Guess my alternative solution is to see if there are ultra wide SCSI adapters I could use with a scsi2sd device
