Click of Death or RE: Second dead drive(?) or is it(?)

Okay,
I wrote in about the strange clicking my drive was doing and then head
crashing. Did this for two drives in the same box in a row. I replaced the
power supply and the third hard drive functions normally.
Nowhere on the web did I find any advice about this, although I did find
several similar pleas for help.
So if you're hard drive starts to clicking, replace the power supply before
it fails is the answer.
It had nothing to do with hdparm or the debian upgrade I had performed.
On a lighter note, the fact that I've been using Debian has made this system
easy to recreate. I'm getting a whole lot better at it. In fact I'm working
on a script/backup system that will automate it as much as possible.
