Is there any normal "click"-like sounds from harddrives?

Hi guys,

Just bought a SAMSUNG 500g 2.5" (HM500LI) and put it in my laptop, got room for two.

And pretty immediately I could hear a clicking sound, think as if you have a floppy disk and slide the metal cover to the side and then release it again. Like that but a bit faster and lower.

It's just a single sound and it apear from 4-6 times a minute sometimes then it can be quite for 5-10 minutes then maybe a single click then silence and then some more, etc. So no fast repetitive clicking and now consistency.

So, my question is, is there any "normal" clicking sounds from a hardrive or should I return it and ask for another one?

Thanks for all kinds of answer!
 
I bought new and it have the same thing , I return it and bought another and the other the same
 
normally they start clicking when they are going to fail. try benchmarking your hard drive using HD Tune see if you have any dodgy read speeds.
