Short video of the Seagate "click of death". Drive is connected to power, which then causes the platters to spin. After a few seconds, the disk heads try to move, but instead generate a loud clicking sound. The sound repeats about 10 times, after which time the platters stop spinning.
The blue cable is connected to a "SATA to USB" device in an attempt to recover data from the drive.
