Thread: SMARTS and hard drive health

i have ~6 year old dell inspiron 630m that's been running ubuntu few years. legacy sake, thought i'd share recent hard drive experience community.

code:

model family:     toshiba 2.5" hdd series (30-60gb)  device model:     toshiba mk4026gax  serial number:    xxredactedxx  firmware version: pa102d

this machine has seen daily use past half decade, , has accrued following stats smarts:

code:

start_stop_count:    10782  power_on_hours:      14148  power_cycle_count:   10706  load_cycle_count:    358501  loaded_hours:        12574  temperature_celsius: 48 (lifetime min/max 10/55)  ata error count:     775

for particular drive, power on hours , load cycle count down "65" starting whatever value toshiba designates.

until year, ever had 1 instance of read problems bad sectors. year i've had ~3. (also metal frame holds display on laptop has fractured). have been recoverable through fsck or other, more aggressive methods (using dd force write bad sector causing "relocate").

nothing in particular other yes, have backed data.
