So as to hear orders via radio in flight. Headphones
were incorporated into flying helmets, which in WW2
offered no protection against shrapnel, bumping the
head against the canopy etc. (Some USAAC gunners
took infantry helmets on missions but the Japanese
aircrew ethos did not approve this.)

It could be the HD was sending you a message, you know, 'click click click'
followed by 'long click long click long click', etc.

Actually, that is why I maintain two HDDs, to back up data. It is unlikely
that both drives would fail at the exact same time and backup from one drive
to another is a lot easier then backup to CD, etc.

Magnetic Data Technology:

It might help to see some photos, especially of the PCB. I found one
forum post that suggests they may be refurbished drives from well
known manufacturers.
