    Hi! I have a following situation: 2*2TB HDD in RAID 0 (I know, I know...), one of them had been clicking from time to time lately.

    Yesterday it started clicking almost constantly, when this is happening, I can see 100% usage of the RAID and can't access any data. It looks like accessing certain data (most of them actually) triggers the clicking, but I can copy some of the data fine...

    What can I do now? Is there any software that lets me copy the whole drive provided that when it hits a bad sector or what the problem is, it just skips it??? Maybe some imaging software?

    Thx a lot!
    And sorry for my english btw
