Let the pics do the talking:
This is what i'm getting from HDD Tune & HDD Inspector:



Now ,this is my Main System Drive(Hitachi 250 GB HDT72252DLA380 Sata HDD), been using it more than 2yrs,since May 07, to be exact.I have been getting some random (often decreasing) spinup time,quite often,particularly at system start up (As seen in HDD Smart info). i but blamed it all upon the previous PSU [Powersafe PSU 500W L&C(Powersafe-KPL) SMPS(model- LC-B500E)] & hence now changed the PSU to a reliable Corsair 550VX,to root out this vexed issue for once & all.It(the HDD in topic here) went Great all about 1 week long,but thereafter now again the HDD is showing random DECREASING Spinup time as can be found in the above pics.
* As u can find out that my HDD has many Reallocated sectors,that has been there for quite a long time too(more than 1-1.5 yrs) without any increase in that vital figures, or has deteriorated as such.Now dont call the HDD Inspector POS,coz the figures there abt HDD Spinup time r exactly in tally with the HD Tune figures,only that the HDD tune figures dont show that much graphically,nor keep the spinup time logs of the HDD as such & moreover does NOT give the Predictive failure date of the drive..
** Considering the Total PowerOn Time,is about 13000 hours & this HDD is Mainly used for torrents dl's almost 24x7,is this issue a Normal thing to happen eventually
i have also chckd the Vcore voltages,etc,everything is in place
Now i am damm confused, what the wrong here??? So is my HDD finally going to die out finally? :huh:
