hdd making beeping noise and not recognized

About two days after upgrading to Windows 10 my Seagate hdd started making a beeping sound on startup and not being recognized in the bios or Windows (Windows is installed on another ssd drive). If I wait a few minutes the sound goes away and if a reboot it shows up and works again. I've ran checkdsk and it says its fine. Since then I've done a complete format re-install of windows. Flash my bios to newest one (rampage iv formula mb) and tried swapping data and power cables. So any ideas or is the drive just about dead
 
Well I wouldn't use it as a primary drive anymore- maybe use it just for backups/secondary copy of something you also have elsewhere
 
It's dying. The "beeps" are vibrations of the way the head is trying to move which makes it sound like beeping as it's very high frequency movements.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected. On way home from work I bought a new hdd and was able to copy all of the old drive to it without it failing. First hd to fail on me in 30 years, guess it was bound to happen sooner then later 🙂
