is Hard Drive about to die
 

Not sure, but I recommend the app Hard Disk Sentinel, it provides a user-friendly analysis of the SMART values.

I see bad sectors. Yes it can or can't die anytime.
Better have a backup.

oh fuck...

Get a Synology NAS and make a backup... problem solved!

Do a poo on it, then it can die happy :thumbsup

External boot drive and a backup HD or two.

Yes it’s time for a replacement

I got a new one.. Western digital... 25 bucks at office depo.. the guy ringing it up was like.. ya buy this.. its only 25 bucks! originally 80 bucks.

works fine now... I'll buy a completely new system end of this year.

That's what i have here, always safe. :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I don't use hard drives anymore. I use 1 TB SSD in my comp and 1 TB flash drives for backup. It's cheap and very reliable if you choose well-known brands as Kingston, SanDisk or Samsung.

Next time get a SSD, I've had 4 Western Digital die, maybe it was that I drop them..

Synology NAS... ultra reliable!
