Hind sight is 20/20

Last night I spent most of my evening transfering files to an external hard drive from my laptop. Recently I started to notice the hard drive of my laptop making a clicking noise occasionally. It’s been happening for at least a week now so I checked my warranty information and saw that I was covered on all parts through the end of December.
I gave Dell a call (or, a chat since I spoke with one of their techs via instant messenger). After an hour of troubleshooting, they determined that they would simply replace the hard drive for fear that it’s showing signs of the “click of death“. (Which apparently is not curable and has been a scourge on the hard drive community since it’s birth. Jerry Lewis should really get on that one. “The Jerry Lewis Telethon to Support a Cure for Hard Drive Clicking Death” has a nice ring to it.)
