After a bit of hunting on the internet, I found Ubuntu's Disk Utility in the System menu and ran the long SMART diagnostics

from this. However, since the documentation for Disk Utility is very poor (palimpsest?), I'm not sure how to interpret the results: For example, the Read Error Rate is over 50 million (!), yet the Assessment is rated "Good". So would someone mind explaining to me how to interpret the results of these tests (especially the Normalized, Worst, Threshold and Value numbers)? And maybe tell me what they think of the results I got for my HDD?

My disk has 676 power cycles, was powered on 285 days, and has 193M errors. Compared to mine, your disk has way too much error, but I'm just speculating here. Anyways I just got worried myself o.O –danizmax Jan 7 '11 at 8:47 Yip - both numbers are the same! –Marty Jan 7 '11 at 16:32 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 32 down vote accepted You have a good description of how SMART works on the wikipedia.

Tried System Restore and Windows Startup Repair tool, both of which failed. Finally removed the HDD and connected it as external to another laptop. Tried many HDD Scan SW all of which could diagnose only 1 problem: Raw Read Error Rate: Threshold Value: 51, Current Value: 1, Worst Value: 1 All the softwares predicted imminent drive failure and that all data should be backed up. Hard Drive Model: Samsung Spinpoint ST500LM012 500GB manufactured by Seagate, 5400RPM The Date of manufacture is May 2012 and the drive has never failed ever. I removed all partitions and also did a deep format of the entire disk, but the error is still there. What are the options that I have except replacing the disk? Can I modify the SMART value of Raw Read Error Rate Worst Value to be greater than 1 as I saw many manufacturers allow it be greater than 1? Is it editable and if yes, how to do it? hard-drive smart share|improve this question edited Dec 17 '14 at 12:50 asked Dec 16 '14 at 10:19 John Paul 1116 add a comme
