My whole family has an ASUS UL50a laptop with a Seagate ST9500325AS 500GB SATA HD (5400RPM). I just ran CrystalDiskInfo on it and it says Health status: caution. All values are standard, apart from the reallocated parts count that says present: 100, Worst: 100, Threshold: 35. SpeedFan doesn't perceive the HD in this laptop. Could this drive be approaching death it’s just a year old. I have heard that Seagate has a few quality control troubles though.
