Okay... So I assume the best thing for me to do would
be to remove the disk from its enclosure and connect
it to a friends PC, to check its SMART status?
That wont tell you what temperature it gets up to in that case.
The enclosure the hard disk currently has is simply a plastic rim
around the hard disk itself, with aluminum panels flush with the top
and bottom of the hard disk, plus a tiny bit of room at the front for
the usb & firewire interface circuitry; the clunking still occurs even
when I remove the hard disk from its enclosure; so if I connected this
raw hard disk (or even with as much of the enclosure around it as
possible, to a dangling out IDE cable from a PC; so that the hard disk
itself remained in the open and not cooled by any of the PC fans, would
this give an accurate report?
Thanks for your help so far by the way(!).
No problem, thats what these technical groups are all about.
The depth of expertise available in this newsgroups is very impressive;
it makes tech support lines pale in comparison.
