    So I finally am fed up with the "Clunk" sound on the Samsung 250 HD. They're sending out part number SA 125 as a replacement. Anybody have any idea what that is and what brand?

    If so, is this one any good?

    Wasn't there a thread about how to resolve that clicking noise? Or is this a different sound you're talking about?

    Yup. There are some ideas on the clunk: Change BIOS to performance, NHC, DParm. Tried all of those and it helped it (reduced the frequency). Problem is that now I'm getting file system type errors. So, yes, I think it's the HD.
