Hi Paul,
I don't own the drive, but was concidering purchasing one.
I have a thought about the sound you're hearing. It sounds to me like my crappy PC at work when i've worked it very hard for a month without defragging the drive. the clicking sounds like the heads are knocking back in forth? as opposed to scraping on the disk itself? I can't imaging a 250Mb drive needing a defrag so soon, though!
Do you have DiskWarrior or something similar to try and troubleshoot? Do you think repairing permissions would help? [ I seem to see that as advice alot up here; altough i'm not sure what it does;) ]
Good luck. Keep us future Porche drive owners up to date!
