My root drive (160gb Seagate Barracuda sata) makes a very faint whistle type hi pitched noise when i move folders around on my desktop. Its very very faint but i can hear it and although it doesnt bother me i was wondering if the drive might be showing signs of a developing fault. Everything is backed up to an external Lacie so im not overly worried but i would prefer not to have to replace the drive if its not needed.
Running Tech Tool Pro 4's tests showed nothing as everything passed without even minor faults. Is this enough to say the drive is working ok and not to worry? Ive not experienced any issues other than the occassional very very faint whistle but can tech tool pro detect hardware failings of drives adequately enough?
In addition, if i do choose to replace my drive, what is the best way of taking an exact backup of the drive so i can simply switch them over and experience no migration issues?
My options so far are Deja Vu or a prog called Carbon Copy.
Any words of advice would be much appreciated.
