Anyone?

For ANY drive, you should always operation on the assumption that it will die completely in the next 0.25 sec.
Doubly so if it is making new noises.

All components are subject to fail. Sometimes, quite suddenly. Any data that lives on a single storage device can be said to not exist at all. It can be gone in an instant.

Is YOUR drive dying right now? Completely unknown. But it WILL die.

A warranty might get you a replacement drive. But you need to take personal control of your data. Backups are the only way to do that.

I will, thanks for the advice.
