[SOLVED] HDD Clicking Sounds

[wm3797]

For the first time, there are a few sporadic clicking sounds in my WD Black 2.5 drive. I use it from time to time, somewhat often as a backup. Is this a sign that its starting to fail?

If you can provide S.M.A.R.T. data for that hdd, it should be possible to tell if the drive are in bad condition or not.
