Dead drive? (I think so)

So I ordered a 300GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 SATA hard drive, installed it, and was immediately greeted with an intermitant "chirping" sound. After some difficulty getting the drive detected, I found the system falling into sporadic hard locks while attempting to format. There was random chirping and clicking throughout the formatting and while idling. Even now I've failed to get the drive formatted. Is this drive dead on arrival? I'm fairly sure it is, but I just want to make sure.

Thanks.
 
RMA for the win. Even if it's not "dead", it's still not in a condition that you'd want to trust your data to
