the hard drive crapped out on my dell m1330 laptop so i replaced it with a wd scorpio black 500gb

that was about 1 weeks ago. but every now and then there is a clicking noise - the same clicking noise on my last hard drive, only far less frequent. about 3 - 40 mins between each click, but its very similar to the sound from before...

should i send it back?

and could the cause actually be something on my laptop itself? software/ hardware issue thats gone wrong somewhere else?

its weird that its happened 2 times to 2 different hard drives no? thanks
 
could it be a problem with a faulty power adaptor? And is it normal for a hard drive to click every now and then? I have ran a few checks and it has passed each test...
