This drive lasted about eight years (pretty good) before one day doing this. It was part of a RAID array.

Ouch. But it's lived a nice long productive life. :-) I got lucky with my pair of Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (ST3500320AS) drives - mine are still going strong after 9 years in 24-7 operation (NAS RAID 1). I admit I don't work the NAS overly hard so the drives while powered spend the vast majority of time spun down. And no worries, the NAS and drives are all being retired - strategy changed and now in need of something more then a simple document back up server. Given these drives had the nasty firmware lockup bug, I guess I got really lucky on a number of fronts with them.

I have the same drive and it started clicking just after a year or so. It still worked but I was afraid to keep using it. So I took it out and got a new drive. Just now I ordered an adapter to connect it to USB and hopefully get some of my old data off of it.

My drive behaviour is very similar to yours, have you done anything to fix it?

I had two of these. One died with the clicking after about 2 years. The other one lasted maybe 4 years before starting to click. I will never buy another Seagate hard drive again because of this. I may buy a Seagate SSD as there are no moving parts....
