Crystaldisk Info "Caution"

I take it that it's time to use this external harddrive as target practice?

target practisce no, but defenately not something you should trust with important data anymore.

Seagate still making junk. Shocking.

 

I would get that drive backed up.

Pending/uncorrectable sectors are through the roof. Assume it is on the way out. Given the drive has been powered for nearly 4 years, it had a good run.

I'll assume you already got all the data off of this? Try a full format first and see what happens.

strange that an external HDD has been powered on for over 30K hours.............i have one that's 15 years old and powered on for less than 300 hours......

It crashed and I had to use DMDE to get the files back.  This was after the formatting.

It "WAS" one of 12 backup drives for my NAS.
