ok so i have a 1TB usb 3.0 hard drive that is making random clicking noises whenever i try to access the drive so i assume its in the process of failing. sadly i dont have any bigger drives to transfer the files to i dont really have the cash to buy a replacement drive nor do i wanna loose the files. so im wondering what are my options would cloud storage be an option i need to get the files off the drive before it dies
 
Solution
Somewhere, anywhere.
Cloud, a drive you borrow, stone tablets...anything.

Your drive is dying. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in the next 5 minutes.
