I got a pair of Seagate Expansion 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drives yesterday so I could carryout a long delayed back up of my internal drives.
This is the drive.

I backed up about 200GB of data last night and all went ok, file copy took around 2 hours.
This morning I started to backup another 200GB, projected time for the copy is 16 hours and the drive now loudly clicks about once a second. I'm not feeling at all confident about this drive.
So is this drive broke or am I worrying over nothing?
