HDD problem, please help

[Mchedlo]

hello guys! recently my HDD (which I bought like 3 years ago) started making clicking sounds, failing to boot up, freezing sometimes and etc. yesterday it "died" couldn't boot up PC (it wasn't even recognized in BIOS), I tried unplugging like I always did but no effect, changed sata ports, still nothing. today it magically booted up and I was able to save all the data on external HDD. out of curiosity I downloaded program called Crystal Disc, to check how much damaged it is. but its showing health status: good... im confused! and also tomorrow I was gonna buy a new one, and sell this one to them in exchange of lower price on new one. can someone tell me whats wrong? I will post picture. what are those things written below? where does it show damage?

I scanned it but it tells me everything is ok. nothing damaged. can it be caused by damaged motherboard or something? I mean when PC cant see HDD in BIOS and freezes sometimes during freezing (and needs restart)

Could have been a intermittent power issue , is the cable in good shape \ Sata.

yes sata cable is new. (like 2 month). also its been making clicking sounds when it couldn't boot up PC. very loud though and unpleasant. I was only able to boot up PC after I swapped to old HDD (like 6 years old I think) and then plugged back in my current one. (note: I tried like 20 times plugging and unplugging sata port and PSU connector. and trying different sata slots on motherboard )

Very strange.

Very strange.

should I buy a new one? if yes which brand do you recommend? I always had WD blue. 3 times. and all of them died (well minimum 2 years they lasted)

I prefer WD Blacks , I even have some old ones still running.

Blue are decent too , I run Blacks and even my old 640's are still up and running.

Clicking is bad, quiet is good. Swap the drive for a known good one and see what happens.

Some drives will always have a small clicking type sound.
