Beeping seems to mean one of 2 things, either the motor is struggling to spin or there's a power issue. If you're not seeing power issues elsewhere in the pc I'd RMA that thing asap and move anything vital off of it.

I'm with Shibdib: sounds like a power issue to me. Grab your data, and RMA.

Took it back to CEX, they replaced it with another drive, same model, DOM 01/03/21.......no beeps. Guess that 3mth old other drive was nuked. I'm going to put my steam folder on it, so need reliable really.
