For clicking hard drives, there are two possible causes:

1. Mechanical malfunction: You can fix the clicking hard drives with this problem(damaged Head-Stack or PCB) by replacing the damaged parts;

2. Firmware Corruption: to this problem, you should use prfessional data recovery software to fix it.
