Hi, i bought a laptop a couple of weeks ago and i saw that smart data are a bit odd especially on the Command Timeout and G Sense Error: https://imgur.com/a/iud1vfz
My drive will fail in the future? i have to mention that i never hit the laptop.

razvan.alexandru642, are you experiencing any problems? A drive can fail at any moment and it is best to have a good back up plan in place.

The conventional wisdom by tech experts on backups is known as the 3-2-1 method. Basically you want:

3 copies of any data you don't want to lose.
2 different mediums it's stored on (so 2 different drives in your computer, for example).
1 copy kept offsite, to prevent against disaster.

You can test the drive with SeaTools to see what state the drive is in.

I tested the drive but it shows me that there is no problem, but when i run hd tune benchmark the minimum reading speed is like 6-7 mb/s.

All drives are subject to fail. Right from Day 1 out of the box.

Physical drives can be replaced. Your data can't.
Backups are your key here.
