i just got a hard drive from a U.S recycling company off ebay, and it said they thoroughly test and wipe each drive before they ship them. they also said "if it fails the test, we shred them." i have been using my laptops hdd and i mounted it to the bottom of the case. (no official mounting brackets.) and i installed ubuntu just tonight. (dont even think about dissing me on that!) i finally got it booted up for the first time on this hdd, but its clicking somewhat loudly. i looked up some click of death videos, but they described an infrequent loud click. where this is a 10+ ticks per second issue. the drive works fine, and has no apparent issues, ( besides the clicking.) but i just need to make sure its okay, and that its just from old age and wear. i plan to upgrade in about 6 months, and i need it to last that long.
my current specs:
AMD Athlon X4 750K OC'd to 4.62ghz, stock cooler.
4GB single stick ddr3 1600.
zotac geforce gt 620
<< seagate barracuda 7200rpm 250GB hdd >>
400w cooler master psu
i really appreciate any help, except for if you're just trying to set the world record link posting count!
