Recently, I hear noises coming out of my computer. After further investigation, I found the cause of it was the wd 300gb serial ata. The noise is a very loud clicking clicking sound every 2-3 seconds and it will go on until I pull the power from it. My question is, would you guys RMA the sucker, even though it is not dead? Certainly I have all my data backed up and the warranty on that thing is good till the middle of 2008. The reason I'm asking this is because I've never seen a hard drive died before and curious to think what you guys have to say about it?

Oh yeah, I didn't run the WD diagnostic tools, because the noise was so annoying that I pulled that thing out of my computer. It was very loud.
 
Sounds like a dying drive to me, run the diagnostic tools/check the smart values. If anything is in the wrong RMA it.
