Thanks,

i agree with marcus. except on 1 point. if u can hear the sound on the other side of your room then its definitely on its way out. hard drive companies manufacture their hard drives to be virtually silent. (if the hard drives made loud noises people would purchase them)so as a rule of thumb if your hard drive is making any sound but low hum (hard disk spinning sound) then the hard drive is probably on the way out so a back up is greatly recommended.
