“I bought this laptop and it arrived at my house yesterday, September 29 2020. I noticed when I was saving things to the HDD there is a clicking sound every few seconds. Is this because of faulty hardware or is it perfectly normal? Should I return it?”

Because the 1TB mechanical hard drive uses a spinning optical disc to store the data, you will be able to hear the drive as it works. If you have ready access to a Best Buy Store, we recommend you make an appointment with the Geek Squad there to examine your computer to be sure it is operating properly.
