I had experienced once where a new hard disk in use for less than 2 months had the clicking and scratching sound.
Thought hard disk spoil and almost wanted to send for RMA. When I inserted another hard disk, the sound came back again.
Stripped my NAS apart and found out it was the small fan inside having problems.
