Cause for concern?

This url shows the SMART info from my seagate 1TB hdd. I am not sure what it all mean. The SMART info on my other drive shows everything 100%. Can someone please tell me if this is bad news or not. I don't want to loose my data AGAIN!

If you don't want to lose your data I suggest backing it up?

Yea back up dude, unless you have 3-5k for possible recovery. You should never worry about losing your info.

Should I replace the hdd? it has got about 4 months running hours on it... It is not even that much. Since my last experience, I have a backup but just the import stuff.

What software did you use to produce the smart report?

 

[janplank]

Acronis has a free tool, but I used active @ hard disk monitor which give me history graphs of temperature which is nice for me.

Is it still under warranty?
take it back and claim a new one.

 

[janplank]

It should be, normally it is 3 years warranty? Would I have a leg to stand on if the drive has not physically failed yet?

Now where did I put that receipt???? :erm:

I replaced 2 drives with bad sectors.
if it's seagate, try to take it to ractron (even without invoice)
