Hi people. Recently my old HDD kind of died (had to switch to another one since it had bad sectors and it was giving me errors, freezing, etc). The situation is that I had to buy a new HDD (which I knew was used, stuff in my country is expensive as hell, so it wasnt an option to get a new one).
So I went from my old 400Gb Seagate Barracuda to a 640gb Seagate Barracuda.
So far in the last two days I have been with it, nothing bad happend. I formated it twice, quick and long formats. I even used a quick chkdsk to see its status. It didnt report bad sectors or anything at all.
To make sure of my investment, I downloaded and ran CrystalDiskInfo. It gave me the next results:
My wonder is, is something bad with it? Is it gonna die anytime soon, or maybe in a couple months? Just wanna be sure about it. I cant give it back (no warranty at all). I just want to have an idea of what I have in use.
Note: Im using it as a slave HDD. Im currently using a Maxtor 80Gb for my OS. Everything else, like data, games, etc., is on the new (used) 640GB Seagate which I bought.
