Hi,
I am using a nifty program called Crystal Disk Info 4.6.2 to inform me of the health statuses of my hard drives. My 3 internal drives are "OK", but my 2.5" external hard drive is labelled "Caution" by the program.
I would like to sell it to a friend who needs more storage space ( I have plenty), but I don't want to sell him a drive that is likely to have a short life span. It only has 1279 "powered on hours", and 1015 "powered on counts".
So, I have 3 main questions, and welcome any advice and comments. They are:
(1) Is this external hard drive reliable enough to warrant selling to my friend?
(2) What is a reasonable life span that can be expected from it?
(3) What is an approximate fair price (I realize local markets vary)?
Note:
The "caution" is due to the Current Pending Sector Count and the Uncorrectable Sector Count. See below:
Attribrute name..................................Current........Worst..........Threshold..........Raw Values
Current Pending Sector Count.............100.............100................0..................000000000002
Uncorrectable Sector Count.................100.............100................0..................000000000002
In case it is needed, I will paste the entire table of info below (hopefully all this mumbo-jumbo pastes in a readable form, I don't think I could tell the difference). Thank-you in advance!

I am using a nifty program called Crystal Disk Info 4.6.2 to inform me of the health statuses of my hard drives. My 3 internal drives are "OK", but my 2.5" external hard drive is labelled "Caution" by the program.
I would like to sell it to a friend who needs more storage space ( I have plenty), but I don't want to sell him a drive that is likely to have a short life span. It only has 1279 "powered on hours", and 1015 "powered on counts".
So, I have 3 main questions, and welcome any advice and comments. They are:
(1) Is this external hard drive reliable enough to warrant selling to my friend?
(2) What is a reasonable life span that can be expected from it?
(3) What is an approximate fair price (I realize local markets vary)?

The "caution" is due to the Current Pending Sector Count and the Uncorrectable Sector Count. See below:
