Question 1TB Samsung showing "Critical" Read Error Rate but working normally

[rscheetah30]

I know most of you guys will tell me to back up, but I'lve already done it. What I'd like to know is until when is this HDD supposed to work normally as it is now? And how can it still be working with this kind of error in Crystal Disk Info??

Here's a link to an image of Crystal Disk Info on this 1TB disk:

PS: I've done a full surface test/repair on Hard Disk Sentinel and all it showed was a Cyclic Redundancy error on 2 blocks which it immediatelly corrected and that's it. The test took 2h35min.


Thx in advance for any input!

Check with HD Tune pro and HDDSentinnel and post the results below...
And to answer your other question is, its possible but will soon wear out and the HDD will be dead.

And more importantly back up your data first...

Your drive is very sick.

The first thing I would do would be to clean up any oxidisation on the HDA connector.

The following article is for a WD drive, but it also applies to others.

Only 1187 running hours.
Is this still under warranty?
