Why is my external 4 TB hard drive making singular clicking noises intermittently? It happens when I was going through directories and copying stuff from a soy folder I have there. I checked crystaldiskinfo, there's no signs of bad sectors (yet).

I’ve had the exact same thing happen to my hard drive, but it still works today; if there’s no signs of bad sectors, it’s probably fine
