So about a few days ago I managed to purchase an SSD to put my windows on it. Everything worked perfectly until my old 1.5 TB seagate hard drive started doing these clicking noises ocasionaly, about once every five minutes. The clicking noises are exactly to the ones where the disk stops spinning so I decided to investigate.
HDTune gives me a warning at the CRC Error count but I think that's just my faulty SATA motherboard. I also installed Seatools and ran every single test there with absolutely no warning or a fail, what I found odd however was my hard drive stopped clicking completely when it was under any kind of significant load. I've managed to record the sound exactly so feel free to skip to 1:46 to hear it, may have to turn the volume down a notch.
So in conclusion the problem started when I installed the SSD, did I do something wrong?

Also, I almost failed to mention that the hard drive was bought in june 2013 and is a certified repaired one.
