    so i finally got my 1520 yesterday and it's all good and everything but i only have one concern. is the harddrive supposed to click/stutter/tick/make a noise everytime it loads something? like i can hear little clicking or something like every time it loads (even if it's something little like a picture)

    Yes, all hard disks do click. Some click louder than others, so it may appear as if the hard disk is quiet. Unless the computer is experiencing crashes, or is unstably, I wouldn't worry about it. If it just gets on your nerves, then you could consider a different hard disk.

    Don't worry about it. We have had a few questions like this in the past. :)
