Hitachi 7k1000.b Clicking

Hi all,

I bought a Hitachi 7k1000.b 3 platter drive maybe 4 weeks ago and I've noticed a clicking once every so often.

Its a single click maybe once every two hours. I've never heard this sound on my 320 GB seagate or my 160 GB WD from what I recall.

Its just a storage drive for videos so there isn't much disk access on a regular basis.

As standard practice I have some of the data backed up but not all, should I be concerned about this noise?

I did a full format in Windows when I installed it which I believe would find bad sectors.

I don't know too much about hard drives so any advice is appreciated.
