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 ? :crybaby:

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.

Well If you think the data is important for you & as you said that this is a old seagate PATA hdd then according to me this is the time to go for a new hdd my friend!

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

I'm not getting any messages !

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