Solve : failing hard drive?

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)

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.
