Hello everyone,
Recently I've been noticing that my hard drive makes one single click/snapping sound every 10 minutes or so then a "krrk" sound few seconds afterwards. Is it failing? This started to show up after installing an SSD and a new OS, on the SSD for sure.
Here's a video clip to help you know the issue better

*UPDATE* It turned out to be my Toshiba 1TB drive that's making the click, not the Blue WD. This click was being caused by a built-in APM that forces the head to park every few minutes, and somehow windows power options cannot disable this feature. I found a very simple fix to this issue by doing a Registry trick. [video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yuw6mOL0uxk"][/video]
