Hi all,
Few questions about these drives..
HDD 1: it's in my desktop. I ran SeaTools (Windows) and did the short test... It failed. Then I did the long test and the drive passed. Should I be concerned? The drive is close to 3 years old and it's definitely running a bit slower these days.
HDD 2: it's in my laptop. It's an HGST drive. About a month ago, the drive "made a weird noise" according to my roommate and the "Windows detected a hard disk problem" error message popped up. I ran the HGST Windows Drive Fitness Test (short and long) and the drive passed both.
Should I be using other software to further test these drives or go ahead and get replacements? If so, which drives would you recommend?
Thank you much!
