No SMART warnings, no hitches in performance, no discernable vibration when the clicks are happening. I did just move the drives into an actual case from a Sabrent USB enclosure, I'm wondering if these sounds are normal and they were just muffled before. They are directly attached to a metal case now, and these clicks are audible in the next room over if it's quiet.

How much disk activity is there? It kinda sounds like the drive is searching for something.
