Dropped my Laptop may have faulty Hard Drive

[Music46]

My sister dropped my laptop and I am worried I may have a faulty hard drive.

Is there any good tool out there which can thoroughly check my Hard Drive for ANY error at all?

Thanks

Hi,

Install and Run CrystalDiskInfo - post a screenshot of the results to we can have a look for you (be sure to maximise it before taking the screenshot).

Thanks here is the screen shot.

How would you tell apart from the 'Good' sign my Hard Drive had no faults/if any?

Thanks

Hi,

If your computer is still working normally, then you have nothing to worry about. There are no indications of a faulty hard disk from Crystal Disk. If there were problems, one of the SMART attributes would likely be flagged.

Do some checks with the WD tool: Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.

Personally, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Back up all your important data sitting on that drive- that way you'll one less reason to cry if the drive fails suddenly.
