Hello to everyone.
I've recently noticed a poor performance of one of my hard drives. I started to wonder, what's going on, since it had never been used to much, and during the load never reported any errors. I run MHDD test on him and here it is what I found. Great number of green <150ms latency sectors.
I use MHDD for a quite some time, but I received such result of scan for the first time. In the past I've been mostly finding UNC sectors along with some <>500 ms ones, and some alarming history in SMART, telling me, that the drive is not reliable and it would be best to be replace him in a near future.
But this, I don't know. What is interesting, I was watching the scan, and I noticed, that MHDD reports those green sectors in some sort of areas, where other sectors with <50 ms can be found. Also in those areas drive noticeably was slowing down.
For me, personally, MHDD says, that these are last breaths of the drive, before it starts to show UNC, and it should be replaced.
But the question is, is it possible to receive such results because of old PSU, with quite reasonable voltages, but a long history of work? PSU is 620W modular type from the Cooler Master company, and it is 10 years old.
I'm not interested in reviving the drive if it is more likely the condition of it to become worse and worse. But is it possible to receive clean, good latency for those sectors after "erase of delays" option at this scale of <150ms?
I will not be able to run such option for a moment, so that's why I'm asking. If someone experience would confirm my suspicions, I think I'd prefer to avoid struggling with this drive, and get a new one.
On the photos You will find the end result of scan and SMART attributes.
Thanks in advance for any help.
