Hello friends!
I was just using my year old laptop when I heard a less half a second beep then a click sound on the main hard drive..... This isn't the first time.... For a few weeks I heard clicking sounds which occurs randomly (Especially after a heavy HDD load)....

 

Is this normal or should I look out for any potential problems...

[BTW this is my second HDD after a corrupted one]

An SSD "clicking" or ticking is usually a sound that the HDD is almost breaking down. Make sure you get a backup asap. If it's still under warranty, do an HDD sector test. If there are bad sectors, you can submit an RMA.
