My experience is that the clicking problem is related to interchange issues. These disks can get swapped between many drives so any tolerances of track writes can become an issue. I believe the "click" is causes as the drive tries to recalibrate head position. I've never seen a data loss as a result of this. Not sure if you were on a PC but eject is locked out when the disk is being read, this is done so that you won't corrupt it by ejecting while flushing buffers.
