Bought a new hard drive (Hitachi UltraStar 7K3000) from Amazon to use as a backup drive. It works, but from day one it makes this god awful intermittent clicking noise when it's running. Video related is an example of the clicking:

Is this normal, or is it fucked from the get go?
Bought it from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QTSDDQ/

What would you recommend as a replacement? It's a backup drive that will only be ran when it's plugged in weekly to backup everything.

my seagate has been clicking like that for exactly 10 years, just lower pitched.
whenever it goes to the "bad click" i just shake it (not kidding) for 30 seconds and then it works fine for another year
been doing this for 7 years
