Hi guys, hope you all doing well.

Today my mom called me because my Airport Extreme was sounding weird. Man I knew HDD can make some awful noises when they fail, but this thing was directly shaking like the platters violently moving from side to side. The HDD is tigh placed inside the unit so I doubt it is a loose screw.

Is the HDD dead or near death?

(we mainly use it as an extension router though)

Sorry for my english and have a wonderful day
