I recently formatted my 40gb Maxtor hard drive. After the format, I transferred a few gig's of data (15 or so) from my main 120gb WD drive, to the Maxtor drive.
During the transfer, I could hear the Maxtor make a clicking noise (even a series of clicks) every minute or so. I know for a fact it was the Maxtor because it made the same noises during the formatting process, but not nearly as often (maybe ever 5 or 10 minutes during the format process).
This only happens while the drive is doing some heavy work. Should I really be worried about it dying on me?
P.S. I've already backed up the contents to DVDs
