Caviar Black intermitent clicking worry
I just replaced my 3rd drive with a WD Caviar Black 1.5TB. This drive only stores photos and has no programs or OS on it. I ran the full set of WD diagnostics on it after formatting and seems perfect. My worry is that even when I have my photo editing programs closed the drive seems to be making a noise, like a gentle clunk, every 10 seconds. Apart from being very irritating I am concerned it should be completely quiet if I am not doing any operations that access the information on the disc.
I have rerun all the extedned WD diagnositcs and says fine. Should I run any other tests? Is this normal? If so I don't think I put up with the irritiation so have I chosen the wrong drive?
Thanks Mike
