[SOLVED] Is my HDD dying?

Is my HDD dying? I bought it in late 2014 so idk why it says 92119 hours lmao

I'd say 7 years is pretty typical for a HDD. The hours suggest it's at 10 years. I'd replace and back it up ASAP. Enter now into the world of a full SSD setup!

No matter what CDI says, your hard drive is dying.
ALL hard drives are dying, as soon as you take them out of the box.

Your real question is...."When will my HDD die?"
That is completely unknown.

An HDD that shows ZERO signs of bad operation or Caution from CDI can die tomorrow. I've personally had that happen.

Your next move should be - "How do I protect the data on it?"
The question after that is - "What SATA III SSD do I replace it with?"

Rule #1, keep any data you care about backed up at all times, including multiple onsite and offsite solutions.

Rule #2, never assume the life of a hard drive. They can die at any time, warning signs or not.
