Re: Is my Laptops Hard Drive on it's Way Out? (4 Year Old Samsung ST1000LM024)
Copy/paste the whole SMART report. Dunno how you get that on Windows, but on Linux you get the full report with `smartctl -a /dev/sda`. Gives you all the drive info (model, capacity, firmware, etc…), all the SMART values, the SMART error log, and the previous tests ran on the drive. Easy to spot if something is wrong with all that.
Also good to run a hard drive speed test on the whole drive to know if the drive has any issue reading some regions. (I think HD Tune is good for that)
