Almost every EIDE or SATA hard disk includes S.M.A.R.T. data. That information is collected
by the drive itself and contains data that the manufacturer considered relevant to check reliability.
The data is made up of several attributes that have a current value, a worst one, a threshold, some raw data,
and some flags. Basically, when any attribute's current value is below its threshold, the hard disk is
considered unreliable and likely to fail. By using several techniques, this report tries to give a wider
range of information, basing its analysis on advanced comparisons with normal values based on real
hard disks and on expert-like checks. The final results are not to be taken as an absolute truth, but
they are almost as good as a professional expert advice about your hard disk status.
Your hard disk is a WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0 with firmware 12.01C02.
The average temperature for this hard disk model is 36°C (min=26°C max=47°C) and yours is 45°C.
All the attributes of your hard disk are above the S.M.A.R.T. thresholds set by the manufacturer. This is good.
SERIOUS ISSUE : your hard disk has 169 reallocated sectors. Hard disks do have spare sectors (usually from 256 up to 2560) used to replace bad ones. This remapping operation is transparent to the end user. Anyway, this can lead to degraded performances (because remapped sectors are in different places of the disk than the original ones and the head needs additional moving). If reallocated sectors grow over time, you might encounter some serious troubles. A backup of the most important data is suggested anyway.
NOTE : your hard disk Power On Hours Count attribute current value (84) is below the normal range (88 - 100) reported for your specific hard disk model. Basically your hard disk was powered on for more than the maximum time the average user did. This means that either all of the reports collected are from hard disks that were not powered on for too long (this is realistic for recent models) or that your hard disk is becoming old. Usually this is not considered as a pre-failure advisory, but you should check whether you want to replace the hardware or keep an eye on its performances over time.
The overall fitness for this drive is 57%.
The overall performance for this drive is 90%.

DISCLAIMER: this report does its best to highlight issues and warnings related to your hard disk. It cannot be held responsible for any mistake. This page and its results cannot be used in any other way but the one defined by its author.
