    There's a low clicking sound whenever the drive is spinning (when the orange light is flashing). And sometimes a light "hiccuping" even when it's just sitting there. Any help?

    Those could be normal operating noises, drives are not silent. You can get a drive scanning program to test it if you like, perhaps that's best to ease your mind or confirm an issue. Drives that are failing tend to make a loud clicking noise on a regular and nearly permanent basis.
