| Mar 6, 2013 at 17:45 | comment | added | qris | Sorry, then the aim of my question was not clear. I didn't necessarily want to diagnose what's wrong with this particular drive. I wanted to know: why is auto reallocate failing (am I doing it wrong?) and is there anything I missed in the SMART data (am I reading it wrong?). I've edited the question to make it clearer why I posted it here and what I'm looking for. Thanks for the advice. | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 17:24 | comment | added | Rob Moir | I can't help thinking that the question should have been closed as 'not constructive' rather than off topic, but on the whole I don't see it as a good question. The answer to any hard drive failure question is "Diagnose it, if it's bad throw it away and get another one, if the data on it was important then you'll have a backup, so restore the backup". There's not much else that can be said. This isn't a SSD issue (normal drives can fail after 3 months) or a fault with SMART (it tries to predict when a failure might happen, absence of a prediction isn't a predition that it won't fail anyway) | |
