Hello, I have purchased a 1TB Hitachi HDD from TigerDirect couple of months ago and now it has started making some soft clicking sounds. I've read somewhere that if the drive starts making these clicks then it is a sign that it is failing and I should consider getting a replacement. I am getting worried about that. The warranty is still valid, what do you advice me to do? Will I get it replaced only for this reason?

Regards,
Cris
