@dfr,
Oh dear, we seem to have misunderstood each other... Since board rules prevent off-topic discussions, I can't reply fully to your personal points and from your reply, I can see the potential for further communication / personality issues, so I'll withdraw from the thread after this post.
FYI, I did say that the "SpeedFan" data
which you had (initially) given (i.e. "in-depth analysis") didn't include the raw SMART data - which was a correct statement. I don't use SpeedFan, so I had no idea that this data was available, yet you had just chosen not to include it - despite that being what I had requested. If you had provided that raw data initially, that would have saved me some typing, and helped to avoid misunderstanding
To reply to one of your points:

BTW, how do you read (analyse) raw data?
Using experience gained from around 2 decades of looking at similar data.
There are public beginners articles on SMART and some of its interpretation e.g. on Wikipedia, to get you started.
I really did wish you good luck sincerely as in your reply, you
seemed (to me) to have chosen your own path - which is fine with me, as it gives me more time for other things! Hopefully another board member who is better in-tune with your supply of data and your approach, will help you.
