HDD SMART Check alert
Hi
I have a question about my hard drive - Samsung HM250JI. That's SATA 2.5" 5400RPM. Several years old, fine so far.
Lately it started to behave strange. It still works, but sometimes it makes loud click noises (it's like knocking on the table) Like it hit something but that makes no sense. Other times, there's a quiet sound that's like a beep - is there a beep speaker inside the hard drive?? Or it could be the motor too...
So far the drive works. But I'm worried so I'm making regular backups like several times a week.
Check out this screenshot. Do you think it's serious?
(I hope this drive can hold out)
