Rodime were one of the worst makes of drive back in the day. I believe an early edition of The Macintosh Bible mentions Rodime as an unreliable drive. A simple Google search reveals the following information:

Rodime became unprofitable after 1985, and a financial restructuring package was put in place in 1989. However, in 1991, Rodime ceased manufacturing and was reduced to a holding company which continued to pursue patent litigation against other hard disk manufacturers such as Quantum and Seagate.

The Rodime drive in my IIci makes a loud squealing sound every time it is powered on - definitely on its last legs!
