Can this HDD be Trusted as Reliable to Backup stuffs???]

HDD - 250 GB HDT72252DLA380 Hitachi Sata HDD
(used in SATA 1 mode)







Though this is a refurbished HDD,RMA'd aginst another similar 250 GB Hitachi HDD 2years ago,but it's ussed mainly as a Backup drive& has Not seen many hours of usage( u can urself chk that -only "220" hrs uptime on that. Till today morning however it was going all fine,without any signs of defects or reallocation & read errors...just my BAD Luck, my failing Powersafe 500W L&C PSU did the damage just a few hrs back!

It's Not a BLANK hdd, & is mainly used as my MUSIC Backups, so asking u pals,ppls& the experts, is it reliable & trustworthy enough,so that i can carry on my Backups reassured on it as usuall.It's OUT of Warranty, so credibility check of safe,assured storage is the high stake here!

So i want the inputs & replies, pour them fast!
 
your SMART status is Ok so you are good to go. Keep that utility running and check every week. As soon as you see any increase in degradation, remove all your data from the drive. You should be just fine then.
