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!
Is that the Striped RAID I keep hearing about?

At least you know the data is wiped XD
The hard drive was just trying to turn itself into a much trendier vinyl record.
The bits just have that analogue warmth that you don't get with conventional drives
There's nothing funnier to me than the jargon you get from "audiophile" gear, especially when it comes to stuff in the digital domain. I've seen "audiophile" network switches.
Or fiber optic cables with gold plated connectors.

So that's what striping a drive does.
Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation
Don’t breathe this
Is that a Will It Blend reference?
I had no idea hard disks came ribbed for her pleasure.
"you want me to do what to wipe that drive?!"
'tis but a scratch!
Save the magnets, lol.
I've taken apart most of my failed drives over the years. For laser pointer projects that never come to fruition.
Hm... To shreads you say.
Always nice to see what spinning rust looks like after I run shred -v -z /dev/sda. I bet that drive has lots of zeroes now.
That drive is cursed
Somebody tell Steve Gibson that we finally found something Spinrite won't handle.
That mixtape had some really cool tracks.
Looks pretty, also you can play with magnets now!
At least it gave you warning. I woke up to the 4TB WD gold drive being a brick. Doesn't show up on Linux or MacOS. The electronics are dead. No SMART warnings. Nothing. Don't think I'm buying another of these things. And the price went up (of course).
That's actually good news compared to whatever the fuck happened to OP's drive. You might be able to swap the controller board and get it working again if you need the data off it or something.
It looks angry.
Looks ... chippy.
