    sad HDD's health is only 55% !

    I've used HDD Health which monitors the S.M.A.R.T attributes of the HDD and found out that my 4 year old Seagate PATA HDD's health is only 55%.

    So should I replace the HDD now itself since I'm having gigs of important data ?

    Is this failure analysis right ?

    Do you get any message at bootup like Smart capability failure, replace drive immediately. And also if it is so many years old then you might need to replace it and backup the data on it asap.

    In this time use should take backup of necessary data first. Then think of replacement. If you'll have backup of all your necessary data then you can continue with your old HDD with free mind. good luck

    But, till now I've not enabled & checked out the inbuilt SMART feature of BIOS.
