SMART Data and New Evo SSD

[flamingspartan3]

I am looking to buy a Samsung SSD 250 GB and am not sure if I should get the Evo or Pro. I am also wondering if my mechanical hard drive is going to fail soon and if it's worth it to buy a hard drive as well due to the low prices. I checked the S.M.A.R.T data but don't know how to interpret it.

CrystalDiskInfo will provide a fairly readable display of your SMART data. It will also give you a health summary based on the SMART data. It will flag individual statistics as problems.

You have quite a lot of hours (10073) , if I am reading the posted data correctly. My guess is that CrystalDiskInfo will rate your disk at less than 100%

I've had the drive for three years, so I'm wondering if it'll be worthwhile to upgrade. I'm currently short-stroking the 1TB partition with a 200 GB partition.

An SSD is ALWAYS a good upgrade from a mechanical disk. You could easily transfer your 200GB partition to a 240GB SSD.

The SMART report looks excellent to me.

If you're worried about the large raw values for some of the attributes, then see ...

That makes sense; I suppose my hard drive will be fine for a couple of years.
