Is my hard drive failing?

[PH3N0M]

Periodically, I've been hearing one of my hard drives make a noise and it sounds as if it's losing power because I can hear the platter when it winds down. Is there some sort of test I can run to figure out which drive it is or is that normal? I'm guessing it's not. :?

I don't know any programs off hand ATM but for now I would say backup your disc if you have a spare hdd or external source. Then if it does fail you will still have your data.
