Thread: Drive At The End Of Its Life

I own an 80 GB SAMSUNG SP0802N hard disk. lately, I have installed two software - HOD life Pro 2.5.62 and Hard Dive Inspector 1.85 build #950. When I run both the software, they show some extreme messages. One of them says that the drive has no problem and the other says it is close to failing. Is it time to backup my data?

Your Samsung SP0802N 80 GB drive is now close to ancient and it's definitely served well when many drives fail within a year or two at times. Both the software might be measuring the state of the drive through different methods, and that's why you are getting the contradictory messages. A drive this old could fail any moment, so it's wise to create a backup of your vital data on another drive or on DVDs to be safe.
