Hi everyone. So, I just got two new OEM WD drives last week (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16822144701), and after reading several reviews that within a week, the dreaded click of death was heard, I decided not to move my files over until about a week had passed. Anyway, I've got the two drives running in RAID 0, and this morning, as I was about to leave for school, I hear a clicking. I turn off the fan that is sitting next to the side for cooling (the side panel is removed for now) thinking maybe a wire got caught in the fan blades. However, the clicking persisted. I deducted it must have been the click of death, so I went to shut down my computer until I got home from school and could further assess the situation. However, about 45 seconds after the clicking started, it stopped. A friend today in school suggested that the clicking is just the drive spinning up and spinning down, and this happens alot, especially in RAID. I was wondering which it is: Click of death, or me being paranoid
Thanks for your help.
