Yea that hdd looks like it has some issues. Id try to get a ssd as the linux boot drive, but worth the try to rma it.

I face random crashes on my PC. So I decide to test the drives via GUI App "GsmartControl" on Linux. It returned some values and data which I'm not sure if I should consider and go for an RMA.

 

Redflag stats-

 

Toshiba HDWD120: "Description","Value","Flags","Page, Offset"
                                     "    Number of Mechanical Start Failures","6","---","0x03, 0x030"

                                     "    Number of Reported Uncorrectable Errors","1","---","0x04, 0x008"

 

                                      
 

 

 Crucial MX 500: "Description","Value","Flags","Page, Offset"
                                 "    Time in Over-Temperature (Minutes)","39","---","0x05, 0x050"

 

Is the Toshiba drive (Linux install) especially busted or something? I largely face the least issues on it.

Can you show all the data from the drives?

 

This is a bad sign, normally means the drive is about to die.

 

Here's the toshiba drive. Purchased Jan 2021 or something.
