Seagate hard drive making a "ca-chink" sound in a MacBook Pro *NOT the SMS*

[MrCheeto]

I have a person that sent along this video and it concerns me that a hard drive would make such a noise. It's unlike anything I've heard in a drive.

He claims the original owner installed a new Seagate 7200rpm in the book, and that it mostly happens when loading a web-page on Safari.

Every time I look up "hard drive click" I get the SMS triggered "tink" but this notebook is not in motion and instead makes a "ca-chink".

Thanks

I have this issue too, and it bugs the **** out of me. I am considering buying another drive, WD this time, but don't want to if I don't have to.

It's NOT failing, but it does it all the time, sometimes in groups of 3 right after each other.

Also, the video was removed.

STOP.....
Make a back up and get rdy to replace your drive.
I had the same thing happen and it took about 3 months for the drive to finally fail. Of course it failed during a backup.
