As the title said, I ran a scan on my external harddrive that I've had for 4.5 years just to check how reliable it still is.
The only problem though is that the numbers and words looks like mumbo jumbo to me as I've never done this type of scan before.
If it's helpful, I've only used it a little bit when backing up and accessing some files during short times. Though I've been that savage in the past and turned it off without doing safe removal, which eventually ended up in a crash in the file system, and after lots of struggling I managed restoring everything. Not sure how this affect the reliability, but it's worth mentioning.
So I'll copy paste the results here, and hopefully you can help me to determine wether they're good or bad and what actions to take:
