Toshiba Portable HDD Making Quiet Clicks While Copying Files

Is this normal? I just bought the drive, and formatted it before starting to copy my files onto it. I haven't timed the intervals, but it seems to be consistent. The data is currently transferring at 62.4 MBps.

I have a WD external drive and it seems to just like yours. As long as there are no grinding noises or loud clicks you will be fine.

It will be because a fast transfer rate is lots of data being transferred so the head is moving quickly.
