hardware rec – When to stop using a hard drive? What rules/software apply? – Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/22

A kind of repeat of a 6 year old post, as by now this has much more information: [WayBack] hardware rec – When to stop using a hard drive? What rules/software apply? – Super User.

It is a continuation for another drive of my 2011 post hard drive – When to stop using a HDD? What rules/software apply?.

Basically I was unlucky receiving a brand new drive that appeared exceptionally slow and doing some ticking.

So I ran these on it:

Sorry for the “missed schedule”, but WordPress.com is acting up again:

Since I ran this machine on Windows and I didn’t have time to run locally, these are the tools I used:

  1. HDTune 2.55 (not the Pro)
  2. GSmartControl 1.1.3 (the screenshot is from the Linux version)
