Is My External Hard Drive Healthy? Seeking Advice on HDD Status
Hello, everyone!
I’m reaching out today for some guidance regarding my external hard drive setup, which has been running on a small server for just over four years now. The hard drive in question is a 2TB Seagate model that I’ve attached to the server. Despite not being subjected to heavy workloads, I recently checked its health using CrystalDisk and noticed some concerning indicators.
Given the duration of its use and the current status, I’m curious to know if there’s a way to address any potential issues that may have been flagged. Furthermore, I’d like to understand the risks associated with retaining my data on this drive.
Could anyone shed some light on how to interpret the readings from CrystalDisk, and recommend whether I should take any specific actions or precautions? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!
