@@PulsarTECH drives last until they fails and then everything on them is gone. You do get warning by S.M.A.R.T tough. It's like driving a car a full speed. Somewhere between 100 000 and 150 000 km the car will crash. You don't know where. I would stop the car at car 100 000km. You continue to 150 000km. Guess who of us survive?
WOW, did it fail too? How old was it? 39,000 hours is more than this one. Mine still works, but it's not reliable anymore, so I only put non-important files on it.

What if drive cannot be read? I have the orinco dock
34000 hours in a home PC that's a lot!
Yea, I think this drive is over 15 years old.
Huge failure on the "fast format" option, with bad sectors only a slow/low format will actually help...
Hi, thanks for the tip. Indeed regular or full format also scans the entire disk for bad sectors and marks them as unusable.
I would not have done quick format on a disk that has sector errors. Bitevthe bullet and do the full format. It will take overnight!
OK, I think I'll do that, I will probably take a whole day though.
you don’t store vital files on a drive past it’s warranty time..
That's a good practice, though drives usually last much longer than the warranty period.

34000 hours? I replaced a 1TB with over 39000 hours. Seriously, never run a HDD for this many hours. You are just asking for a failure.
