Lately when i go to boot my computer one of my hdd spins up twice before the computer will boot. Since two days ago it has had to spin up three times before the computer will start to boot. Is this an ominous sign one of them is on its last legs?
Do you get any error messages or system freezes or anything? If it's just spinning up differently I hardly doubt it's going to fail. Now if it's clicking or making odd noises that's a sign of possible failure.
Downloaded HDD Health and it says one of my drives is expected to die (TEC) on the 1/04/2006 but the prediction's precision is only 25% accurate. The Raw read error rate is 65 compared to 200 for the other hdd. Does this precision improve over time? .
