Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB Clicking??

Check there are no hairs or anything caught in the fan.

Considered unplugging the hard drives and turning on the PC to check whether the noise stops or not?

Argh yet another Samsung F1 failure, they really are ****e drives. Doesn't seem to be restricted to the 1tb models either. I had a 2.5" laptop F1 drive die on me, only 3 weeks old and I've read loads of stories of other owners having similar issues. Seems like Samsung have inherited the DeathStar mantle so I expect that they'll be a class action lawsuit to follow by those crazy americans.

Of my 100+ 1TB F1's I haven't had a single failure.

They don't do mobile f1's?

You're a lucky person.

Interesting that because I can find no reference to them either on teh interweb but it definitely had F1 written on the back as part of the model/serial number. Either way I believe it was this type that I bought. Samsung 160g HM160HI

Tried reading the SMART data, is it throwing up errors?
