hey toms so i decided to check hd tunes to see the status of my ssd and hdd
but i noticed that the block count had one worst and hd tune saying i should replace the drive.
i checked with samsungs magician and crystaldiskinfo and they show the 1 error aswell but say the disc is 100%

The HD Tune "Failed" reading means nothing other than it has failed the criteria set by the makers of that particular testing utility, and obviously CrystalDisk and Samsung Magician don't agree with that criteria.

I've had the same discrepancies in HD Tune as compared to the disk maker's own diagnostic software. In the end I took HD Tune off my system as it just makes you unnecessarily paranoid about your drive's health.

Go with CrystalDisk and Magician - I'd recommend them over HD Tune any day of the week.
