Abstract
A method, system, and computer-usable medium are disclosed for acquiring and using audio detected during operation of a hard disk drive to determine the status of the hard disk drive. One general aspect of the disclosure is directed to a computer-implemented method that includes receiving analog audio detected by an audio transducer in proximity to moving mechanical components of a hard disk drive, converting the received analog audio to digital audio, and assigning a health classification status to the hard disk drive based on a classification of the digital audio.
