If you can clearly hear the drive clicking or clacking then it's probably dying. Drives usually make very muffled, hard to hear clicking noises but you shouldn't hear those unless you put your ear right up to the case or drive itself.

If the drive is dying it will keep clacking and probably get louder and more rapid. Then one day it will just go south and you won't hear anything from it. It's most likely time for a new drive.

With this machine I got a 3 gig HD, I can hear how it reads and writes, clicking, slow and
sometimes faster, is it possible that this SCSI HD is slow and near to death?
