I heard a death click from my HD

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

One of the 3 HDs produced it, I'm guessing the Raptor because Windows startup got halted.

After the splash screen which takes 2 bar movements to boot up (yay for Raptor speed), I heard a click. It halted there, and then a few dseconds later I go into Windows. Mmmmm... I guess it was a pause, but I hope my system is ok.

That's not a death click, that was the drive re-parking the heads for a moment, probably due to a controller error.

My wifes hdd is turning off then right on again and been doing it for a year now. Sometimes it will do it several times in a row and sometimes it wont do it for the whole day.
