I would post my HDDLife results for my Samsung HD502HI, but the application says I have no HDDs with S.M.A.R.T., which is interesting seeing as how AIDA64 and Crystal Disk Info read the drives S.M.A.R.T. info quite well.

Is there even a point in downloading and installing yet another program that just reads S.M.A.R.T. data?

Probably not, but I gave it try out of sheer boredom.

It would be nice if it could tell you when its going to fail. Like the day before you could buy a new drive. I would download that

There's no chance to increase it, if hard drive has bad and damaged sectors will decrease the hard drive's health a lot. Better replace the hard drive.

Or you can change the hard drive cable to newer and better one, also replace the controller to the newer and better one also. These will increase the hard drive's health.

This WDC Green 500gb has been with me the longest and still running strong when u consider that it has been running almost 24-7 all it's life. it started out as my OS drive and now it's one of my storage for personal data and it also got my games on it plus a Windows 7 actually i never delete and yes ino it may be time to change it, but not with these prices for a 500gig drive

Fine, but if you change the drive controller or the drive cable, the health will be better.

What?!
1TB HDD and just one partition
Do yo have any idea what will happen if you have to format C: Drive(Which looks like the only drive to store data ) All you data will be gone, unless you have a backup

How can I change the drive controller?
I have a backup of the important files, how many partitions it's better and what size?
