It's not great. It's not terrible.
Your sig rig says WD, but this is Seagate? Anyway, if it sinks below 50% then I'd start to get slightly worried; I doubt anything will happen with 69% but I'd back up data to make sure.

Of course not, 69 is awesome!
Oh wait, we're talking about hard drives... Anyway, as has been said, 69% isn't amazing, but it'll do. You should think about replacing the drive if it keeps declining.

Well, how old is the drive?
If it's about 2 years old, that's normal, eh? Considering most hard drives last for about 5 years?
