Heya folks, somehow googling this issue didn't help me (too many trigger-happy words for google i guess: smart, bad, WD...), so I'm here to get a piece of advice from you all.
Basically, my couple years old 1 TB blue WD HDD is being reported as bad by my bios on every startup, with beeps and all.
However, the WD's utility says everything is fine, crystaldiskinfo says everything is fine, windows also reported no issues. Here are the screenshots of the SMART data from WD data lifeguard app, everything checked green: View: https://i.imgur.com/rIEOPjc.png
Drive isn't strained by writing/reading, it's just a backup drive where I store large files but I don't access it very often. Kinda just sits there.
Whom do I trust then? BIOS or three apps?
