Default brand new drive clicks very lightly


What does it mean when an almost new HDD clicks very quietly? On
startup a few times, and very rarely when it's not startup, I can hear
it, but barely.

I have a bare drive in a BlacX dock. I just bought it a month ago,
though I've run it 24/7 for that month.

Probably means nothing at all. Occasional recalobration is normal
and so is calibration on statr-up.

Thanks. I don't think it has done it again, or at least it was even
lighter and it didnt' worry me.

Sorry it took me so long to reply.
