I've had this HDD for a while, 1-3 yeard, I'd say.
I recently got a new computer and I noticed
(it may of been there before, I'm not sure, but I noticed it after I got a new computer)
that it would make a lot of noise when it has to read a lot, say, I open a folder with 30 images or I go to d:/ and search for something.
I recorded how it sounds:
When it reads a lot (for example a folder with lots of images):

This only happends when it has to read *a lot*, like when I go to D:/ and search the whole thing for a or b.
Not when I open a folder with 4 files, or even 30 images(if I have opened it before)
The clicking:

The HDD is a Seagate. Barracuda 7200.10
I downloaded Seagate tools for Windows and ran the following tests
* Fix all long
* S.M.A.R.T check
* Short drive self test
all of which passed.
