Question: So basically I’ve had this message for a while now but I have no idea how long i have left with this hard drive, how close is it to death?

Answer:Often times the time to swap the HDD out for a new one is either now or never or when you least expect it. I have a colleague of mine whose sig space image is an exact description when it comes to data and HDD’s and life, ofc.

I’d advise on backing up data now, not alter but now.
