"Yes, I would at least run a hypo into it and try it again."
Exactly. Even if the bearing seal is about to crumble, a shot of lube of any sort will change the tune if this is the musical instrument.

In 1980, the Winchester drive was born; based on a model from 1973. IBM introduced the 3340 "Winchester" disk system, the first to use a sealed head/disk assembly (HDA). Almost all modern disk drives now use this technology, and the term "Winchester" became a common description for all hard disks, though generally falling out of use. Project head designer/ lead designer Kenneth Haughton named it after the Winchester 30-30 rifle (initially called the "30-30" because of its two 30 MB spindles).
