I have a 60 Mbytes Seagate hard disk (ST-277R-1, RLL type) with autopark
feature. When the power is turned off there is some strange sound coming
from the hard disk and it lasts about 5 seconds. It is not the whining
sound  from the motor. I have never heard this kind of sound from any
other hard disk. I will try to describe the sound:
	After you turn off a fan, while it is spinning if you put a stick
between the fan blades you would get a similar sound. 
I am really curious about this. Does anyone have any idea?   Thanks.
