``[107671.077099] sd 33:0:0:0: [sdb] Spinning up disk...``
``[107672.114243] .............``
* The hdd heads make a strange noise (you can listen to it https://youtu.be/fTqHCawKMVU)
-
***What I tried :***
* I bought exactly the same hdd,
* when I swap the PCB's, the "new hdd" with the "old pcb" work together (no bad noise) : but is not readable (normal, i did'nt swap the bios). So the issue is probably not PCB related as expected :-(
* I Didn't opened the disk as I didn't have a white room. (and I'm not sure if the disk is Helium sealed).

Can I assume that this is a mechanical issue ?
Any Idea how to fix head mechanical issues on this kind of disk ?
