Abstract

A method, system, and computer-usable medium are disclosed for classifying audio detected during operation of a hard disk drive to determine the status of the hard disk drive. One general aspect of the disclosure is directed to a system in which digital audio corresponding to audio detected by an audio transducer in proximity to moving mechanical components of a hard disk drive is recorded. The recorded digital audio is classified, using a trained machine learning model, to provide a health status of the hard disk drive based on the classification.
