My experience with HDDs.
WD 80GB went kuku due to that SMART shait after a year...RMA then now still running fine and coming to one yr anniversary...hope nothing goes wrong again. Bought a WD 120 GB during RMA period and coming to one yr anniversary as well...really hope dun both kaput on me. my old 20GB Quantum still good though but spins at 5400rpm so less prone to fault gua. |

SpeedFan tries to build two synthetic indicators, but this is based on heuristic and on some basic assumptions. Most manufacturers do not use values lower than 100 when any attribute needs no attention, but some other ones (most notably Seagate) chose to set values for some attributes to values lower than 100 even if the drive should be considered 100% healthy- http://www.almico.com/sfarticle.php?id=2 |
