I just wanna ask if I should worry about this on my Hard Drive WD 160gb
found it on HD Tune pro, I've tried changing the SATA cables and its still there


Interface CRC Error Count
========================= Current = Worst = Threshold = Data = Status
(C7) Interface CRC Error Count ======== 200 = 200 === 0 === 71583 = attention

Should i worry about this?
and whats the numbers in the DATA means?

Hi there Ej-_-,

Sorry that you are facing some issues with your WD drive. :(

I would totally agree with Shaun o. You shouldn't keep important data stored on the drive. As you can't get another one, you can just use that one. Keep in mind that it could fail or become inaccessible in days. On the other hand, it could stay like that for years.

I believe the drive is not under warranty right?

You can test it with WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool as well(both short and extended tests): http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=V0efbW

Cheers,

What you are looking at is the error correction rate of the drive.
The more CRC errors you see tells you how worn the magnetic disk platter is of the drive used to read and write data too.

The 200 value you see are the amount of cylindrical errors of the drive platter.
The Data value of 71583 is the amount of total data lost or corrupted in block or sector size, or a part of the disk platter where data cannot be stored due to a failing disk platter.

If you want a honest answer back up the drive as soon as you can to a new one if the data is important.
And stop using the drive for any important data you do not want to loose.

Besides, if you bought a new drive then the storage capacity of it would be larger in size anyway so that`s a bonus in a way isn`t it. EJ.
