I recently got a warning from windows 7 that my 500GB Hitachi HDD is going to fail. After running HDDScan 3.3 it told me that 4 attributes of SMART have passed the threshold value:
Value : Worst : Threshold
Reallocation Sector Count - 086 086 005
Reallocation Event Count - 087 087 000
Current Pending Errors Count - 100 100 000
UltraDMA CRC Errors - 200 200 000
When I downloaded the program from Hitachi called "WinDFT" that scans the HDD for errors, after running both the long and short tests, it tells me that the HDD has no error so I cannot RMA the drive.
I read somewhere that it is possible that a one time error occur and SMART records and remembers it. So even though the error doesnt occur anymore, SMART still think the drive going to fail because it remembers the error last time. Is this true?
Based on the information provided, is my drive going to fail? Thank you for any advice
