RC-Monster Forums - I need some computer help.

This gets even more confusing.......This is the smart data test from speed fan, This hdd epicly failed this test a week or two before it crashed....Now it's "fixed" it self (I know not really) and It's stats are back up to were they were a year 1 1/2 ago :neutral: Any one have an idea whats going on here?

Almost every EIDE or SATA hard disk includes S.M.A.R.T. data. That information is collected by the drive itself and contains data that the manufacturer considered relevant to check reliability. The data is made up of several attributes that have a current value, a worst one, a threshold, some raw data, and some flags. Basically, when any attribute's current value is below its threshold, the hard disk is considered unreliable and likely to fail. By using several techniques, this report tries to give a wider range of info, basing its analysis on advanced comparisons with normal values based on real hard disks and on expert-like checks. The final results are not to be taken as an absolute truth, but they are a very good approach to what a professional would say about your hard disk status.
Your hard disk is a SAMSUNG SP0802N with firmware TK200-04.
The average temperature for this hard disk is 33C (MIN=17C MAX=45C) and yours is 26C.
Your hard disk's S.M.A.R.T. attributes are now being analyzed and a full report about the reliability, health and status of your hard disk is generated:
Your hard disk is not below any attribute threshold. This is good.

Warning: Spin Up Time reached, in the past, its threshold. Worst value is 1 and threshold is 25.
This is an unusual situation because it looks like your hard disk, in the past, failed the S.M.A.R.T. status check, but now it appears not to be failing. You should double check it. A backup of your data is strongly suggested.
Your hard disk is now being compared to real data used to define normal values for your specific hard disk model. This way, the analysis can automatically use proper operating ranges. The images give you an idea of how each attribute is within such range. Current and raw values are shown for easier reference for experienced users. There are 2684 hard disk models in the current archive.

Attribute Current Raw Overall
10 Raw Read Error Rate 100 0 Very good
10 Spin Up Time 100 4416 Very good
0 Start/Stop Count 94 6131 Watch
Warning: Start/Stop Count is below the average limits (98-100).
10 Reallocated Sector Count 99 4 Very good
10 Seek Error Rate 100 0 Very good
10 Seek Time Performance 100 0 Very good
1 Power On Hours Count 99 1196507 Normal
10 Spin Retry Count 100 69 Very good
10 Calibration Retry Count 100 0 Very good
0 Power Cycle Count 97 3280 Watch
Warning: Power Cycle Count is below the average limits (99-100).
10 Hardware ECC Recovered 100 218794 Very good
10 Reallocated Event Count 99 4 Very good
10 Current Pending Sector 100 0 Very good
10 Offline Uncorrectable Sector Count 100 1 Very good
10 Ultra DMA CRC Error Rate 200 0 Very good
10 Write Error Rate 100 0 Very good
10 Soft Read Error Rate 100 0 Very good

NOTE: not all warnings are reflected on fitness and performance overall values as relevancy is based upon the settings from the hard disk manufacturer who is the best entity deputed to define such relationships.

NOTE : your hard disk has 1 offline uncorrectable sectors. Those are sectors that an offline scanning found as unreadable. Offline scanning is a process that can be automatically started by the hard disk logic when a long enough idle period is detected or that can be forced by some tool. Those unreadable sectors are identified and the hard disk logic is waiting for a write command that will overwrite them to try to remap them to spare sectors (if available). According to the Reallocated Sector Count attribute, your hard disk seems to have available spare sectors. A simple disk surface scan won't be enough to force the remap operation. You need a read/write surface scan to remap the sector. The best option should be a tool that knows about what should be read from that sector so that it has some option to apply the best fix to the missing data.

NOTE : your hard disk Power Cycle Count attribute current value (97) is below the normal range (99 - 100) reported for your specific hard disk model. Basically your hard disk was power cycled more times than the maximum number the average hard disk was. Power cycles put some stress on the hard disk mechanic. Sometimes power cycles can be caused by a loose hard disk power connector. Make sure it is properly fastened.

The overall fitness for this drive is 97%.
The overall performance for this drive is 100%.
