For the past few days, one of my HDD have been clicking then freezing randomly again, but when it did it this morning, it clicked and froze, unfroze, click and froze, and kept doing it. It freaked me out since I wasn't sure if it was the harddrive with all my important things, so I restarted the computer. It kept doing that so I shut it down and started it up again and it still did that (click read/write [I think?] click) so I shut off my computer and popped open the side of the case. One of the HDD's power was connected to a bunch of things so I tried just using one cord for just my two HDD and so far no odd clicking. I'm running Maxtor's PowerMax scanning thing on them to see if anything shows.. but is there any chance it was just not getting enough power to it?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Is my harddrive dying?
