Title:
  ASUS X550ZE. HDD - cliking sound

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Laptop - ASUS X550ZE (a new one).
  HDD always issues clicking sound, even in idle. I tried 'sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda' and  'sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda' - did not help. This sound appears under Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu Mate 15.04, Xubuntu 14.04 and 15.04, but with KDE distros (Kubuntu 15.04, Fedora 23, openSUSE) it seems to be ok (or rate of clicking is less, so I do not pay attention). GNOME Disks utility tells that HDD is healthy, "badblocks" didn't find bad blocks. Also this problem is in openSUSE XFCE Leap- but sound is different: something begins to spin time to time.
  My Ubuntu uses UEFI.

  The same problem on openSUSE Leap - but the sound is different, like something begins to spin time to time and some time it issues a scratch-like sound.
