There is a copper strap that apparently discharges the rotor
of a Seagate 4051 (and other Seagates I believe) to the case
of the drive.  The hassle is that this strap makes a loud 
vibrating noise after several months.  Cleaning is a bear
and makes very little difference.  I have removed the strap
from one drive.  Has anyone remove the strap and had problems
or no problems?  Any insight appreciated.
