Windows 7x64 and hard drive clicks?

Good day!
After reinstalling Windows from 7x32 to 7x64 Ultimate, strange clicks appeared (apparently the hard disk head is parked).
I have 3 disks in my system: Two Seagate 160Gb 3.5 'connected via pci Raid controller in Raid 0 and one samsung HM250JI 2.5 ' inserted into SATA on my mother, so it clicks. Moreover, energy saving and shutdown of hard drives by the idle timer are disabled. On Win 7x32 this was not observed.
Full spec:
Motherboard: Asus P5KPL-CM
CPU: Intel [email protected]
Ram: Kingston DDR2 1066 4Gb
Video: Msi Radeon 4850 512 DDR3 OC
HDD: 2xSeagate 160Gb 3.5", Samsung HM250JI 2.5"
Raid: Silicon Image SiI 3132 Controller
Bp: Seasonic 550W
Here's another drive smart log:

Maybe someone came across or knows where to dig.

And the clicks are probably loud enough.
This is a “disease” of all HMxxxJI
. I myself had such an HM250JI, AAM did not react to turning off, continued to click loudly. I handed over to the store, returned the money, there was no choice. I bought the HM320JI the same click, but when AAM was turned off, it disappeared. Raised the topic on ixbt forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=11:37561 Using Linux united us with the author, he scored on these clicks and the screw has been living for more than 2 years. Please note that my G-sense error rate still grew with each click, in your screenshot it is probably called Mechanical Shock.

I have a 120 GB screw from Western Digital on my Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop (I don’t remember the model in detail, I’m not writing from it). Old laptop, about 4 years old already. As far back as I can remember, even on Vista 32-bit there were hard disk clicks. They did not disappear either on XP, or on Linux, or on Win7. I no longer use Linux, I changed Vista from the kit to Win7 64-bit, but the clicks remained the same. Clicks are very rare and I do not pay attention to them. But they are. And, as you can see, they did not affect the life of the screw in any way. Has been working well for 4 years now.

I've had a Hitachi HTC426060G9AT00 on my X41 Tablet for about five years, probably brutally clicking Hitachi HTC426060G9AT00 - at first I was sure that after a click it would not be resurrected. No troubles, everything is in order, SMART did not even look.

Is there enough power for the drive?

Didn't find what you were looking for?
