Answer» I recently replaced my old HDD (Seagate 80GB 7200 RPM IDE)with new ONE Seagate 500GB 7200 RPM SATA (ST3500418AS) I use the speed fan S.M.A.R.T. to check my HDD status it shows fitness & PERFORMANCE of my HDD above 92-93%
but now for past 4 days its fitness keep reducing and now it's at 29% though the hdd is working fine and there is no noticeable difference in the performance (this problem FIRST showed up after a power-out) http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVviGJadSNBfZGhmcnBxYnhfMmhrZGRxYmhy&hl=en
but the seatool test results says my hdd is fine
the power supply have no sata power CONNECTOR the hard drive is connected with a "molex to sata power" connector(it's safe to use this in long term???)
why this data is changing so rapidly??? is my hdd is failing???
please help!!
[attachment deleted by admin]I would trust SeaTool more than SpeedFan GIVEN that it's the correct tool.
