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?

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
