When the drive is beeping, that means there is a power issue or it's at the end of it's life. There's some troubleshooting that can be done to see if it's just a power issue
# (The easiest) Disconnect the drive and unplug the cable from the disk and spray out all the ports. There might be some dust
# Try another cable. Some cables are better with power and data connection then others
Otherwise, you can run SeaTools. It's a software made by Seagate that diagnoses drives.
