Hard drives fail at a rate of several percent annually. If you want lower failure rates, buy a non consumer drive. Doesn't matter what manufacturer. If you heard clicking there is a mechanical error and your drive is toast, at best try to copy your data off. Your data can be saved for around 900 in a lab clean room if all else fails, I have a place to recommend.
