Hello
My 2tb Seagate external HDD makes a clicking sound when it stops only once. I tried many times on and off but when it stops , it always makes that one clicking sound. if you want to hear - here is the MP4 file-- http://www78.zippyshare.com/v/VIw6V8vV/file.html

Should I worry about it?? Please tell. I have games on it.

Also one more thing that there is not a single sound other than this. I tried to write 50 gb data in one go. it was full silent. I hear vibration when I keep ear on it. It is working with normal transfer speed of 30mb/s on usb2.0 Please help me with that last clicking sound? I don't want to lose my games.
 
Solution
Check your SMART data with the tools Seagate provides. I wouldn't be too worried. I think that is the disk heads being "parked" prior to power off.
