Turned on one of my computers this morning and my Magnetic Data drive
died the click of death. All it does is click,click, click. I guess I
won't buy any more of those again.

You probably have a loose magnet. Fortunately this is easy to diagnose.
To diagnose it you need a strong neomodium magnet and move it all over
the HDD case. If there is a loose magnet you will hear it moving inside
as it is attracted or repelled by the magnet you are moving.
