Hi,

I have a WD 2TB passport that is making this weird clicking sound. I’ve had it for a while now. Is it time to get a new drive?

  Too risky, disassemble the drive, shatter the platters, then melt them down and cast the material into a marble and drop it down a borehole at the nearest quarry.

    I used to use platters as coffee mats at one of my old jobs.
