[ale] external hard drive

[lists at serioustechnology.com (Geoffrey Myers)]

So, I picked up a 1.5 tb external drive.  I pushed a bunch of data off 
to it all went well.  Later, I connect the drive up to a couple of 
different boxes.  Each time, the drive is giving that really scary 
clicking sound you dread.  I can access the data fine, I don't see any 
errors being produced.  This thing is brand new, what is with this?  Any 
reason anyone can come up with why this drive would be making these noises?
