Hey all,

I bought my first MBP earlier this year (The 15" i7 one at £1799).
Anyway, since the day I got every 10 minutes or so the HDD would make a clicking noise but I didn't think anything of it cause a friend of mine who is on his third MBP said this happened on every MBP he's ever had.

But now its happening more and more in a more severe manor. It will happen when ever I move it even in the slightest of ways (for example while writing this I got an itch on my leg so moved slightly to scratch and the HDD clicked) and when it does happen the screen will sometimes freeze up which at times can be very annoying for example if I'm on a video game and move slightly the entire game will freeze for a second then continue.

Is the HDD broke? Is this normal or should I take it into the Apple store and ask what they think?

Thanks
