Well under "Pre-fail" I have on one pc 5 items that says in the chart "yes" as a Pre-Fail". Could this mean hard drive is about to fail? unsure.gif I have checked with other SMART software, I see no such "pre-fail" type listings for the hard drive. Just was curious as to how reliable that information is.
why not cite the name of the authors of the programs he speaks about?

So many values are set differently by different HD maufacturers that SMART info is not sometimes as definative as it was designed to be. Personally I think SysSpec is oversensitive in this respect, and you did the right thing by doublechecking it against others. SysSpec finds several prefails on my (nearly new) HD so I think it can only be used as a guideline in this respect, not an absolute, though in other respects I can't fault it. I do think it's worth running other disk health checks if you're getting prefails though, to be on the safe side

That is because I post a notice in the News and Announcements forum and that puts it at the top of the forum... And yes, it has been there since I posted the SWI Community News... Good idea though...Just noticed that the link is in the header!!
Was it there all along???? if so..sorry for the "dopey" suggestion to place it there!!..![]()
