QUOTE(1024kbps @ Feb 13 2011, 04:09 PM) "Reallocated sectors count" in smart status? time to buy new HDD. the transfer rate i think quite normal, however, when i play movie direct from the external, there were lag when playin the movie..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.#Kn...R.T._attributes The SMART status may report wrongly, like my WD green 1TB, the HDD died but the HDtune still report it as in good condition. If your HDD is acting weird like Copy/write/transfter Rate slow like slowpoke, eg speed down to unbelievable 100kbps, chance are your HDD have bad sector or going to die soon, cause windows keep trying to retrieve the data from bad sector.  |
