    All hard drives make clicking noises, so I don't see how you can "eliminate" it.

    Try not to use the hard drive as much so it won't be accessed, thereby reducing the clicking noise?

    I recently bought the SAMSUNG HM250JI.
    Needed the space, but discovered the drive is making a clicking noise.
    It doesn't make a difference using the notebook or just leave it running for some times, te clicking noise is there.
    Contacted SAMSUNG received and S.M.A.R.T. tool for vista (Free) and i am running the tool making log files like requested by SAMSUNG.
    SAMSUNG informed me by email, with the terms warranty is 4 years so no issue so far.
