I am using a laptop with a 512 Gb SSD and a 1TB HDD. I was playing Trackmania that was installed on my HDD the other day and suddenly the Laptop Froze, Gave a Blue Screen of Death with DCP_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error, the Hard drive started making a buzzing sound and it shut down. I restarted it and everything was OK. This happened once again. So I uninstalled the game, installed it again on the SSD it works fine sometimes, but sometimes still has the same issue.
So I decided to install Crystal Disk Info. I am attaching screenshots below, could someone tell me if my drives are fine?

Solution
The HDD is dying. It may last a year, it might die as I'm writing this.
The SSD is fine, for now.

You should always be prepared for a drive to die in the next 0.25 sec.
