HDD clicks as though arm reset, works when it wants to, no surface err
I'm having an issue with a HDD (ST31000524AS) where it clicks often as though the arm is resetting to its resting position. Other issues include the drive disappearing from Device Manager, random explorer freezes while browsing, and of course random freezing when use of.
I ran a surface scan that came up clean using EASEUS Partition Master, as well the default Windows utility. Is there anything else I can do to see what the problem may be? HDD is fairly new but of course out of warranty.
