Clicking sound..

[AMDXP]

Maybe it has always been there, but my 2nd HDD is making an annoying clicking sound.. not too loud, but it's noticeable.. like it's always refreshing.

Is there anyway to get rid of it? I swear I haven't heard it before, but maybe it's because I have the side panel off.

It's a Hitachi 750GB HDD 32 Mb cache.

Thanks!

Well, at least I think it's that drive. I've began disk defragment.. see if that does anything...

i think it might mean maybe a dying hard drive? idk back up all of your data ASAP!!

But, it's not extremely loud.

It sounds almost like phone static.It's really faint.

as others have said backup your stuff just in case it is hard drive.

check the SMART data, scan it with MHDD or similar
