A bit of a weird topic admittedly, but recently I used a bunch of notebooks which all have one thing in common: Toshiba harddrives. They all have the same issue, which shows itself as periodical, annoying clicking noises, as if the drive was just about to fail. They work fine though and show no S.M.A.R.T. errors. Sometimes there is nothing for about 10 minutes or so, other times it's just one big staccato-fest of clicks, so there is no set pattern to it. It doesn't seem to correlate with actual usage either. And yes, I've isolated the HDD as what causes it, it's not related to fans or anything like that.
...anyone else with similar experiences?
