[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 870932, member: 24160"] What you have found on Apple's site is correct, some drives will make a light clicking noise on occasion. And, they're more easily heard on a notebook where the drive is typically sitting 2-3 ft from you than they are on a desktop machine. If you have any data that would cause a moment's grief if the drive were to fail, I would suggest following Strukt's advice about setting up an external for back up. [/QUOTE]
