I am currently editing a forthcoming video on the Apple Hard Disk 20SC. The SCSI drive mechanism I use with my 20SC enclosure is not stock, so I am curious about the sound of the stock drives. Would any of you 20SC owners who still have the stock 5.25" Seagate ST-225N drive (photo below) be willing to record the sound of the drive spinning up and running for several seconds? PC versions in an old PC should sound the same, so you could record that audio, I suppose.

You do NOT need to open the HD20SC to record the audio. If you do kindly record the audio, I would appreciate your permission to use that audio in my video, and I will credit you and your website in the text description. (You PM that info to me).
You could just just sit an iPhone on a soft cloth (so the mic doesn't pick up table vibrations), with the mic aimed toward the drive (away from the fan vent) and then record a WAV or AIFF file.
ALSO, if any of you have the slightly newer 3.5" Full Height Miniscribe 8425SA drive mechanism inside your 20SC enclosure, I would love to have 2 things: (1) a clear-focused, semi top-down photo of the drive mounted inside the 20SC case and (2) an audio recording of it spinning up and running for a few seconds. To see the Miniscribe drive I am talking about, just Google "miniscribe 8425SA" and click on "Images" to see some photos of the bare drive.
The focus of my video is not on the stock drives, but I thought that adding a short few seconds of info on those original drives might add something nice.
