I agree with previous answer.
I don't know what you call "clicking", but often when hard drive start having mechanical problem start "clicking" (metal sound click), I guess from your specification that it's really old (5+ years) server. If it's old hard drive it's worth change it before is to late. In my environment, I'm changing SCSI drives for factory new when age reach 4 - 4.5 years.
