eurobyn Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 if it is a green version (then it is normal to hear clicks) but if you would be sure then use hd tune. under health and see if everything is normal.one warning is replace the disk.i personal do not like wd disks. i prefer nas drives (seagate)but if you have a green version then it is like saving energy.(do whe want a energy saving harddisk ?) i think not.
