320GB Hitachi Deskstar - Is it dead?

I was through my pile of old hard drives today and found this one, it was in an external casing and I believe it died a while back, but I didn't know why. So I put it off to one side and today decided to take the external casing off. I just want to share with you the noise it's making, who knows, it may still be alive? The drive came out of a Acomdata External Hard Drive. I guess these all come with the Hitachi Deskstar. I can't comment about the quality of these drives, as I use Western Digital, and never had one from Hitachi. When I bought it, it lasted about a month until it died. It's only now I decided to check it out. I can't get the screws off and probably shouldn't try, so I've uploaded a video of the noise it makes when I turn on my computer with it plugged in. Maybe someone watching this can figure out what it is and if it is fixable. edit: RMA'd and expected back in a few weeks.
