External hard drives disk clicking
Hi, I'm in a bit of a panic right now because the unforeseeable happened.
Last night before I went to sleep I had turned off a plug that was connected to my usb hub with all my external hard drives connected to it.
Next thing you know they were all clicking!
*Note that I disconnected everything from the usb hub and went to sleep to deal with it tomorrow hoping that I was just tired and it was all in my head*
I didn't realise this until I woke up just now to turn the plug back on that the power to the hub was the reason.
They're not clicking now, ran error checks, all fine apparently but I don't believe that for a second.
Could someone please explain to me what disk clicking is and if this has caused any permanent damage to my hard drives?
