    Default Mind sharing your HDD Life results?

    Also, I'd love to know why all my drives show 60% health. I haven't done anything to damage them that I can think of

    I think my HDDLife is knackered, though my PC has been on for 3 weeks straight so I'll reboot then try again!

    Yup! Compared to my old Coolermaster 330 or whatever it was, this case is nice and quiet. I can't sleep when its silent outside anyway, so the hum of the case fans is quite soothing

    Yeah, I'm strange, I'll just go back to my corner

    what is the 'Health' bit actually telling you ?
    i only have a single 1TB sammy installed next to my Mushkin atm (pulled all my other drives to do some much needed housekeeping), and it tells me it's at 58% health

    I don't get it either. I wonder if it's looking at the odd spin retry or something. Crystal disk just says healthy for the drives, as does windows 7 in disk management. I do find it rather annoying though that they want £17 for a piece of software that as limited in use as this. I tried using a cracked version but wanted to try the most recent version to see if there was any change in the results.
