What's a good software to detect possible HD failure?

[Rusher]

Hi,

One of my harddisks starts making clicking-noise loudly, meaning that it will break soon.

The problem is, I have 6 harddisks inside my PC. I can't figure out which one is making the noise. I tried to listen closely to each HD, but still can't find it.

So the question is: is there any software that could "predict" future hardisk failure?

Thanks,

There are all kinds of different softwares available for testing hard drives. It depends on the maker of your HDD as to which is best. Have a look at this excellent thread:

You'll have to test one HDD at a time.

Yikes, that'll take a long time. Oh well

Thank you for the tip. I'd give them a shot and see what happens
