Yeah, happened to my Seagate 251 as well. A local hard drive guru type person
suggested that it might be a worn "spindle"; [this of course depends on what
kind of hard drive mech the SH204 has] the little thing on the bottom of the
hard drive that spins (middle of mech. approx.) and is covered by a tab. That
occasionally gets worn, causing a wobbling that makes the sound.
In my case, however, the 251 was turning itself into dogmeat.
