hdd health program

[kdream3]

So I download the HDD health program and I got this. Can anyone let me know what this means? Also it tells me my T.E.C. (termination date of hard drive) is tommorow .

I've used programs like that before, I would let it run as the T.E.C. date will be further and further away. These programs work by learning you drives. But please back things up anyway just for good measure.

To be safe, run the disk utilities from your drive manufacturer. They made the drive and their diagnostics are designed specifically for their products.

Other utilities can only read the S.M.A.R.T and other basic data which is a good baseline for detecting problems, but not a total solution.

So did the hard drive terminate yet?

Nah...its just keeps pushing the date back. Scared me for a second there..telling me it was gonna die in a day
