I just got my Seagate 7200.10 320GB HD today in the mail from newegg. Plugged it in, started up the comp...no problems. I run computer management and format my drive with no problem (although it took over 2 hours ) No matter. I start to transfer important files from my 80GB main, and i start to hear a clicking. I stop all transfers and listen too see if its just read/write noise, but the sound keeps on clicking. Its not a continuous click, its a random click, sometimes double click, every 3-5 seconds, even when idle.
Is this the dreadful click of death?
Update: Did a quick restart (why didnt I think of that before?) and I'm now hearing nothing. No clicking, nothing, dead silence. The drive doesnt even make a sound when reading/writing data.
