I bought a new SATA Seagate 1TB hard drive for extra storage. My primary drive is a Western Digital IDE drive on a 'MSI P7N SLI-FI LGA775 ATX Motherboard MS-7380-030' Motherboard and I have a 430W power supply.

The drive installs fine. I can send data to it and run things off it. The next day the drive doesn't work. It cannot be read and makes a clicking noise. I took back the drive and installed a new one with the exact same result. The drive is still under warranty so I can get another new one for free but am very reluctant because I've already fried two drives. The store did diagnostics to confirm damage to both drives. Is there something going on with my computer that I can fix or am I extremely unlucky at getting two defective drives despite this brand supposedly being very reliable? Thanks in advance for your help.

If anyone is interested I determined the drive to be faulty once again and have replaced it with a Western Digital drive which has been much more reliable so far. If anyone is thinking about buying the Seagate drive I say STAY AWAY. I'm sure they have drives that actually work but what I went through was ridiculous and isn't worth the risk.
