Is there any way to fix a HDD's smart?

UCHANGEDBRO · Jul 24, 2014

so let me explain the issue i am having, i got this HDD from a family member, and dusted it off, because it had been sitting in their old computer never being used, so i tossed it in my gaming rig for possibly a OS drive, everything checks out great except for the temps, i am not sure why smart failed because of a 54c (that i dont see anywhere) reading when it is reading around 40c and lower, i have software to check drives for any issues, and its reading that the smart failed because of a temp that isn't even close to 54c, so is there anyway to fix that? or is this drive just bad?from prior experience i know that drives that run hot constantly over what its limit is are no good, but i dont see anywhere looking at the charts where it hit 54c, so im thinking maybe smart is lying to me :??:

any input would be very much appreciated, thanks!

use the drive maker test tool and if it fail drive is out .

im using hd tune, and are you saying to use the company who makes the drive's test tool?

yes it wil give more info on it .

okay, well apparently when i launched WD's tool it says it passed, but ima test it really quick, sadly the values changed from what i was looking at on HD tune, so im not too sure of WD's tool because some values are now 0, but as i said im going to run a test and see what happens

it past short do the long one is will aslo check for bad sector and try to fix them .

UCHANGEDBRO · Jul 24, 2014

already checked the sectors, but ill do the long one just to be sure

HD tune says it has no bad sectors, BUTTT obviously the temp reading was off, and i have no smart issues on a short test, so why not check the sectors again with the program that said hd tune was wrong, but i wonder if the fact that i formatted it after HD tune did the auto smart test when i opened it had anything to do with that changing? i dont believe it would have anything to do with that.

i could have move out the bad sector from the reading list .

UCHANGEDBRO · Jul 24, 2014

well like i said, i had no problem with sectors from what i saw before the format, just the temperature said it failed because it was too high according to the data on HD tune. so when i was half way into the test (using WD's tool), of course the power went out >.> so now i have to re do it

do you have a fan in the case that push fresh air to it that will help reduce the temp specialy from under the pcb .
