About the drive, it depends. Some are cases for a smaller drive inside, and you can open the case to tighten the connection to the drive.

However, your problem sounds more like not enough power, especially if you are hearing regular clicks. Do you still have the USB Y cable that came with the drive? Plug two ends into the computer or into a powered router, then the single end into the drive. If you are plugging in to a desktop computer, USB ports on the back of the case are always the better choice.
