I find it hard to believe that such a thing actually works. I had a drive recently die without any warning or indication. However, another drive started reporting imminent failure almost four years ago. Guess what? That one is still going.AF Branden wrote:Is there a way I can get the exact health of the drive rather than just a passed? On winXP I use a program called hdd health that shows exaclty how much life the drive has left.
I'm cynical about S.M.A.R.T. technology for similar reasons. I have a drive that has been announcing it was about to fail for several years, yet runs flawlessly. I finally turned off SMART support for that drive in the BIOS to shut it up and avoid the delays imposed when I booted.lapis wrote:I find it hard to believe that such a thing actually works.
