Question:

  1. Even though this report is good except for the red,
  2. does this mean my HD going still going to fail or,
  3. is my motherboard mal-functioning?

Thanks!..

I would not worry about it, although it is always wise to have a backup plan.

One of my disk drives is quite noisy. But that noisy disk isn’t the one that actually failed.

Cool! Thanks for your reply!.. :slight_smile:
