Try putting it in the freezer for 30 min and then give it another go.
It's worked on several drives, so far. If your drive is exhibiting slow performance from clicks of death, then freezing it may give you a temporary boost. It should give you the opportunity to back up what you need.

Good idea to wrap it in plastic wrap or a zip lock bag first.
