You don't need to do a test. The disk that is making the noises is f**ked.
Assuming that it's the old drive that is knackered...
I was thinking the same. In the past three or four years I've had more
brand new drives go bad than older ones. Funny, though, the replacement
drives I've received under warranty work spectacularly well. Just luck?
