Only one, and again I'm not convinced it's the drive. It's not really a
click, more like a static discharge kind of noise. I'll see how the new
Travelstar does, but I'm on a lengthy road trip so that report will have to wait awhile.
The vague, short little clicks I hear on MP3s played by my 20GB Fujistu could probably be decribed as static. Kinda hard to pin down what sounds sound like via the net though.
If this is the same clicking I've heard from my lib100, it's not HD dependent. I was using a 6GB HD at the time. Winamp used to click once or twice on almost every one of my half hour drives to school. I had a feeling it was due to Windows, so I started killing services (until ctrl-alt-delete only showed systray explorer and winamp) and choosing processor-light options. I used 98lite to strip my winME down, and went through and manually deleted even more things I can live without, defragged the whole thing, then put my mp3's on. This cured the clicking for me. I've since installed a 20GB IBM HD. It does not click.
