Ok,thanks to everyone for putting my fears to rest. And I am using an antivirus - Norton Internet Security 2014 ,with fully updated definitions. Update - Windows Defragment and Optimise Drives function is showing both drives as 0% fragmented. So, I am not sure whether insufficient power to the HDD is the problem.I have checked all cables to make sure they securely fastened.Ĥ) Drive temperature is normally 37 Degrees Celsius,but now I see it's risen to 40 Degrees Celsius,thanks to Seatools.Īs a sidenote, I would like everyone who posts a reply to please give their preference for HDD monitoring software,just in case I am missing out on some great software. Today,however, I saw it had dipped to 60 % (Normal Health).while my 500 GB HDD is still stuck at 67% (also Normal Health).All other software (HD Sentinel Trial, Speedfan, Crystal DiskInfo etc) report the 1TB's health as 100% or Excellent.Now, I would really like to know which one to trust.Any input would be much appreciated.ġ) The exact product name is Seagate ST1000VX00-1CU162 1TB HDD.Ģ) Right now, I am running Seatools for Windows "Fix All" Long test and waiting for the results.ģ) Just in case, my Power Supply is a Corsair TX850. Coming to the point,I use HDD Health v4.2 (No New Updates available) to monitor my drive's health.For the past couple of months ,HDD health was reported as 98%. I quoted the word 'new' because Snapdeal sent me a drive which was DOA (Dead-On-Arrival) and which was subsequently replaced by Snapdeal,after much hassle. In short, I have two hard disk drives - One of 500 GB capacity,which I swapped out of my old PC and a "new" 1TB HDD ,purchased from Snapdeal.Both are by Seagate.
