Hey guys,
I recently purchased a SATA enclosure on newegg, paired up with my old barracuda 160gb from Seagate. At first, there were no problems, but after a few days, the drive would unexpectedly restart and make the "click" sound. I just stopped the drive and pulled it out, and it is running hotter than usual. I can still access the files in the drive, and scans are not showing any bad sectors. The drive does not overheat when I use it in the chassis, but then there's a fan running to cool the drive. Is the enclosure bad? or somehow my drive turned bad? can anyone help?
