The drive is only a year and a half, but in the latest week or so has been
making a click noise (just one single click every ~10min)
It's been working OK, but that click had me look at SMART. Power is on
24/7, and unless I'm doing something, it runs BOINC

Get wd's diagnostics to double-check. If it shows a problem, get
another drive. first thing's first, though, back up your data now!

Run WD diagnostic program! Keep your backups updated frequently.

Mike.

I've used WD's diagnostics and Segate but they are worthless.

It is pricey but SpinRite fixed any issues I had.

I did, and it reported no problems....

Might that click once/10 minutes be due to something like OE checking
mail every 10 minutes? or similar setting determined by you? s
