Might try another imagehosting service. I just tried to open the pic and apparently that service is sponsered by adult friend finder. Full screen ad with a girl walking in front of it talking sexy. NSFW

What makes you think the impending "death" is coming?


It looks fine. It clearly states "very good".

That is fine, electronics tend to create a little heat sometimes. 29C is not bad at all, for a HDD.

Looks fine to me.
Uploaded to another host, sorry about that where the hell did those adult pop ups come from :s.

Reason why I was concerned is drive fitness was at 98% and now it's at 90%, do these change?.

Most likely yes, and performance may have direct correlation with fragmentation.

If it bothers you, keep an eye on it, but its most likely fine.

However, this is a good time to make sure you have a back-up drive?

Ok thanks, yes I havent defragged for a quite a while, doing so now. Yes I have a backup drive for important data.

Cheers Guys.

Thanks for changing the host, lot's of people walk by my desk so I have to keep it clean. It was a splash page with a continue to button btw. The hard drive looks fine. I think one of the factors making the score low is the ambient case air entering the HD. Could try testing it outside the case if that is possible for you, and see if that improves the score. I second the 'making sure backups are in place/working' idea. Keep an eye on it, but other than that I wouldn't worry too much.

+Rep for changing hosts

Your HDD recommended temps are up to 55C or 60C so no worry there.

As far as defrag goes (was mentioned) SmartDefrag is free and the best. I don't see a real issue.
Ok cheers guys put's my mind at ease, just a panic as I read about a few of these drives dieing. But... if it does not the end of the world, easily replaceable.
