The clicking is not actually the drive head (thats whats moving), its has to do with the magnets that control the head... the clicking is because of a set of magnets at the back of the drive... there is a little piece of metal that the back of the head hits, which stops it from going too far and coming off of the spinning platter( that's the metal disk)
