Well, I believe that it would be a really nice idea to attach the drive with different SATA and power cables as well.
Are you sure the clicking sound comes form the HDD? Are the cables long enough so you can take it out? Make sure it is not a fan hitting a cable or something.

In case the drive makes clicking noises, despite the fact that it has a good performance, I would suggest you to contact the manufacturer or the place you got it from.

Hi there desproyer,

As you are facing some HDD related issues, I believe the first thin you need to do is to back up the important data stored on it.
After that, as Jasjar suggested, you can test the drive and see if there is something wrong with it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
Look for pending/reallocated and uncorrectable sectors.

This ticking noise could indicate some mechanical flaw. Most probably, you will need to RMA the drive in case it is under warranty.

Let us know,

i found the solution i changed the sata cable port from my mobo to an other port and suddenly i got 110 mb/s read and write 120 mb/s but the noise is still there.
i did also the hdtune and crystaldiskinfo and both the health status was good.
so should i still RMA it ?
