There's nothing wrong with your drive. See my post in your OTHER thread about the drive.
WD RMA Pre-emptive strike
OK so now I"m paranoid of losing another drive.
So I've been testing my drives, and seems this drive is giving "Pre-Failure" reports
Thats good enough reason to me for a RMA:

Hmm well I only have 2 months of warranty left and they already approved the RMA
Now I need to decide to let the RMA expire or send it in (since WD are known for sending back better drives than you return)

Since the drive is in perfect health, they'll probably send it back to you and charge you for their trouble.Originally Posted by CravinR1;12985444

That just refers to the type of test you're running.
Your drive looks fine.

Did you not read my post in your OTHER thread, as I indicated before?!
Yeah but I had made this before that. I saw the words "Pre-Failure" and was like crap

Your drive is in great shape. However, it is running slightly warm. Check and make sure you've got airflow over it and you don't have a dying intake fan on your case or something.
"Old age" and "Pre-fail" refer to the drive attribute. Old age means the attribute refers to something that will gradually degrade over time as the drive ages. Pre-fail means that when the attribute changes significantly, it's an indication of imminent failure.
