I have a mono 25 MHz station with a NeXT-supplied 400MB
internal disk drive (Seagate).  Over time the noise from
the drive has been getting louder--it is a combination of
high-pitched whine and buzz--and is becoming a real 
problem.  (The sound is constant, not just when seeking.)
It is 16 months old and out of warranty.  Aside from the
noise it has functioned reliably so far.

Is it possible to have a hard disk *repaired* to fix this
type of problem?  Or is the only solution to throw it out
and spend big bucks on a new one?
