Okay so this started happening when I received the HDD, so its basically making this weird clicking noise (at times it clicks so much it sounds like static). I unplugged the HDD and there was no sound, checked the wires, no bends, no exposure of bear wire and I took the HDD out its brackets but it still makes this clicking noise, i'm no pc expert so i'm not to sure if this is serious or not and if it is tell me if I should replace it because I luckily have a warranty on it. Thanks.
 
Hi

Get WD diagnostic software either WD Data lifeguard for Windows (if this is not your boot drive)
or bootable software for CD or USB

WD or dealer will want a report from the WD diagnostics before accepting for return
(unless completely Dead & not detected by BIOS)

(collection of hard disk diagnostic found on Hirens boot CD)
