    When accessing data the hard drive is making a clicking noise.

    Is there any solution to this? And has anyone else experienced this?

    It is a Toshiba Hard Drive.

    Toshibas are pretty loud, especially with the clicking noises, not to mention slow, cheap and hot.

    That's just the way the hard drive is. I've had toshibas in the past, wouldn't touch one with a 6ft pole! :p

    Western Digital is the best, followed by Hitachi and Segate.
