Leroy,

Siders are notoriously noisy, so if your only symptom is clicking noises you 
may be okay.  I have owned two 10MB Siders, and each made distinctive 
obnoxious sounds ranging from clicks to whines.

OTOH it could be related to the slot 6 configuration I suppose.  FCP 
recommended slot 7 for the Sier I think, which has always worked for me.

Good luck! Mike

P.S. Remember to park heads before every Sider power-off! :)
