Windows and SMART driver error, wtf?!
14 years ago
General
As all things are subject to inflation, sadly, so are my prices. With the raise in my cost of living, commission prices have gone up, see footer below.
So, today I have now received the totally annoying, and detrimental "Hard Drive failure imminent" errors through my SMART hdd reader in POST and once again through Windows.
I am never, fucking, ever buying Seagate again.
So, now I quest to purchase a new replacement drive in the hopes that I can make it through all this.
Has anyone else ever had this happen? Any additional suggestions on how to set up a decent backup before my hard disk dies out totally?

If the HDD is no longer under warranty then you re at that point where it is supposed to die and you are supposed to buy a new one--at least as far as the engineers who designed it are concerned.
Generally HDDs do not just die like that, have you been having brown outs, power outages, or just killing the computer by cutting power while it is running--Hot resets do not count!--
Also, gets your power supply checked, I do recall that a faulty power supply can kill your hardware very quickly.
