Hi,

I have a WD 2TB passport that is making this weird clicking sound. I’ve had it for a while now. Is it time to get a new drive?

    That drive is failing. You need to get the data off of it right now. It should not be used again

        Of course.

        You don’t have to drop everything you’re doing to get the data off, it’s not like the drive has minutes to live. However, you must unplug it and stop using it until you have time to move everything off of it
