I have an 8gb seagate drive that's about 2 years old. Today it started making a repetitive sound that has me worried since as far as i can tell there shouldn't be anything running that's accessing the drive extensively. It usually starts to make this sound a few minutes after booting up.
I tried to record the sound, you can listen here: http://youtu.be/z5Vww9b7z5U - you'll probably have to turn up your volume to hear the clicking sound, it's pretty faint on the recording.
crystal disk info says smart status is good. seatools also says the drive is good.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on here? Or any way for me to figure out if some process/program is causing this?
