QUOTE(everling @ Mar 29 2012, 08:21 PM) All your listed HDDs are in good working condition. Not all SMART data are important to the actual health of your HDD. Most of them are informational, like the "Power On Hours Count". "Reallocated Sector Count" and "Current Pending Sector" are something to look out for, but only if the values are increasing over a short period or the value is large. I don't know why your "Spin Retry Count" is highlighted as a warning. current and worst what is that worstIt can be hard to interpret the raw data shown. My Samsung 1TB's "Spin Retry Count" has a Current and Worst value of 252 and a Threshold of 51, unlike your 100 and 97. I haven't looked deeply into the meaning of the SMART attributes. and what threshold 1tb threshold 6 if high number like 50 or 100 will be bad 0 mean very good ah |

Both of my WD Green 1TBs have passed their third year of life. *touch wood*

My RMA-ed 500gb WD Green just returned back to me. They replace me with a completely new 800gb WD Green HDD.

WD's 808GB HDDs are not new, it has been a few years already, and are created from scavenged defective platters and targeted at Chinese customers, hence the unusual use of the 8s. That said, I have no idea if they are less reliable or not. |

The prices have dropped since its peak, but still nowhere near what it used to be before the Thailand floods.

QUOTE(krel89 @ Apr 1 2012, 09:46 PM) I strongly recommend taking your external HDD to your local shop or trusted expert for testing and advice. They might need to extract the HDD from the casing to test it with another external device or directly plug it in to a computer to see if the HDD is still working or not. Please do not use or power on the external until they have examined it. |
