Default HDD failure or Controller?

I'll try be breif as I can. My hard drive doesn't get detected on post and it's intermittent but I can hear a feint clicking, reset and all is good.

I know what you're thinking now "it's the HDD" but this is the fifth now!

Which is why I'm questioning the controller would this be a good assumption? Or something I'm overlooking?
