Not Really sure if it is even a bad issue. This drive has not failed yet. It is just making some weird noise , I have no idea what could be the cause.

The ticking sound , in this video, is exactly the same. The only difference. Mine does it every 1 min, sometime every 2 mins....and sometime every 3 or 4 mins. And it only makes the ticking sound once. not over and over.
so one tick every so often. you can only hear it-when everything is guiet? Just one tick and it goes away for awhile?????
Does this mean that my drive is failing? Reason why I am asking. After one year of use, the hard drive failed-It just died. Dell replaced the drive/Msata too. It has been close to another year, with the replacement. Is this a sign, should I back up and save all my info. should I contact dell.
IF the laptop kills another hard drive-Is there a chance the Motherboard is defective?
Things I have tried----defrag the drive, I have even check and repaired sectors....nothing found.
Any Help would be appreciated.....
been thinking of upgrading to a ssd, but i really don't want to do this, if the motherboard is killing hard drives?
Thanks for reading
