There is a clicking sound coming from my usb port to my usb interface. Is it a
warning from my have drive. Can't seem to find the source.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.2.x)
What do you mean by "Is it a warning from my have drive."?
Frequently, clicking means the HD is failing and the clicking is caused the by HD having to repeatedly read the disk surface to get a sat read.
Hopefully not but you can rule out hardware problems by running the Apple Hardware Test
If the test reveals any issues, make an appointment at a Genius Bar
If you can't get to an Apple Store, look for an authorized service provider > Apple - Find Locations
The clicking heard from failing Hard drive comes from an internal recalibrate. After trying for 100 times to re-read a bad block and get good data out of the error-corrector, the drive does a recalibrate (seek track 00) where there is traditionally a switch that confirms the location as track 00. Then it does a seek back you to the troublesome track and tries to read again. The single out and back of a recalibrate produces an audible click on many drives -- but it comes from inside the drive, it does not get sent out on any interface.
