Some of the SMART values of your HD are no longer at zero. I only regularly defrag fragmented files in a few selected folders and have disabled the Windows Defrag. On top of that Windows is also set to defrag every once and a while. It will increase the wear and tear on your HD.
#DISK HEALTH WARNING DEFRAGGLER FULL#
My personal opinion is that one should be very careful with doing a full defrag. Thank you, again! I hope you're having a terrific day.
Maybe just a little dramatic of a response on my part, haha.Īnyhow, I will certainly be mindful of backing up important files moving forward, and I'll be sure to run those two apps via command prompt as recommended. Thank you for such a prompt and useful response! I was sweating bullets a little bit when I saw the warning, thinking that my drive's demise was nigh. Respectively, that will check for system corruption and drive errors. When done type chkdsk c: /r and hit Enter. I've had drives run for literally years after SMART indicated a change in the figures without any ill-effect - until the drive did up and die.Īs well as your backups, for extra piece of mind, start an elevated command prompt and type sfc /scannow and hit Enter. The thing with SMART values is the standard is hardly adhered to, so one manufacture may consider the event 196 (reallocation event count) as bad if above 10 where as another may not care until above 50. I wouldn't worry too much about the SMART figures.Īt best, it's a reminder you should be doing regular backups.Īt worst, it means your drive is heading south.
