Some of the cheaper toolless drive bays are kind of crappy. It's probably to blame for your problem. If your hdd is failing theres no way to fix it but rma it.

All my other equipment has lasted over a year and a half perfectly fine.
Edit: I decided to dump a bunch of files on it to test, and I heard the drive spin up suddenly. It's empty otherwise.
