So.... is this drive dieing?

[darkmage1991]

so i restarted my computer and apon restarting windows said my drives smart triggered saying its a bad drive, so i downloaded crystaldiskinfo and ran it. it says caution on 2 lines but i have no idea what any of that smart stuff means. BUT the funny thing is this isnt the drive windows cried about... it cried about one of my toshiba drives but in crystaldiskinfo everything says its fine.

 

so my question is this: does the toshiba drive look ok? and how about the seagate? 

 

thanks for any help

Download and run GSmartControl.

 

report back info after a full drive test.

oh man. nearly 2 hours per test :\

but alright started testing the first drive. 

[darkmage1991]

well... heres the seagate. not sure why it failed but it did, heres the output log. not that i think it probably matters because im sure if it failed it means i will probably have to replace this drive. im running the tests on the toshiba now though

EDIT: omg the toshiba is estimated at 7 hours  i wont be posting the results of that one until tomorrow as i wont be up when it finishes.

[darkmage1991]

so the toshiba drive passed the test but here is the results.
