as ntfs, and the 2.0 is formated as fat32. When I run the two together, the 3.0 clicks. Did this damage the hard drive?
 
Formatting can not damage a harddrive unless it was already malfunctioning.

Install CrystalDiskInfo to see if the drive thinks it is operating abnormally.
 
How does this look?

There were 16 bad sectors total remapped in 2 occasions. I do not consider this a huge problem. At work I have had drives sit at 50 bad sectors for years. I have also seen ones go from 14 to 2000 to total failure in a three weeks. I would keep an eye on this and if the number (raw value) for Reallocated Sectors Count grows on a regular bases then it is time to RMA.
