How can I check if my hard drive is still in good shape?

The main health status indicator in CrystalDiskInfo will usually say 'Good' if everything's running well. If it says that, your drive is okay for now! However, there are definitely other signs you should monitor to be certain.

Here are a few key points for assessing your drive's health:
- The health status is a solid way to tell if your disk is failing; if it's marked as good, you're likely safe for the moment.
- Higher normalized values are better, and many drives max out at 100. If any attribute falls below its threshold, it signals potential issues.
- Look out for specific raw values, like:
- Reallocated Sectors Count (should be 0); any increase is a serious red flag.
- Uncorrectable Sector Count means data in those sectors is corrupted, while Pending Sector Count indicates uncertain sectors.
- Spin Retry Count should be zero as well; it shows if your drive is having trouble starting up.
- For brands like Western Digital and Toshiba, a non-zero Read Error Rate can be concerning.
Your drive seems to be in good shape based on what you shared!

Seagate drives are a bit peculiar since many of their health attributes are based on computations rather than a simple 0-100 health scale. Pay extra attention to attributes like 05, C5, and C6, as they often indicate potential failures. Also, 0A is helpful if you suspect the spindle might be stuck. Just remember, the current and worse values should be better than the threshold for a reliable health assessment.
