Datacent has a (not very) nice, long list of hard drive sounds, which you usually hear before they die and go to cyberspace hell with all your data.
If imagining a drive failure makes your heart skip a couple of beats, make sure you back up your stuff regularly.

If you are on a Mac, need a simple software to automate your backups and don’t have much money to spare, you definitely need to take a look at iBackup. Created by Martin Jahn, iBackup is a simple-to-use back up tool that allows for easy restoration as well. Not only does it back up your files, it can also save system preferences and settings from applications like iCal, iSync, Keychains, etc. Very highly recommended for those who need a simple backup tool that can automate backups with minimum fuss.
If you are using it in a commercial environment, you need to pay for it though. But that’s not really a lot to ask for, is it?
