PowerMac G5 HD making wierd noises

[G5Unit]

My PM G5's Hard Drive has been making wierd noises lately and I'm really beginning to worry that it's failing. How can I be sure?

Check the SMART status in Disk Utility and verify it while you're there. Keep everything backed up and ensure there's at least 8GB free if it's your boot drive. 🙂
