I also posted in reddit as I figured posting in two places would get me a 2nd opinion, like you said, or at least an answer cause a lot of times I don't get answers and I wanted to get this resolved quickly so I knew if I needed to get another drive. Next time I will be sure to link to other posts. HARD DRIVE2: Western Digital Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM HARD DRIVE1: SAMSUNG 850 PRO 2.5' 256GB SATA III OPTICAL DRIVES: 2 x LG WH16NS40 BD Rewriter POWER SUPPLY: CORSAIR AX Series AX860 860W MEMORY: 32gig - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit Initial CrystalDiskInfo screen - this is also how it currently looks Images of the 2 crystal disk readings are below, and below that are full system specs.

Of all the computers in my house, and all the drives, I regularly check CrystalDiskInfo and this is the first time I ever got a caution. Yesterday I checked it, and it now says good and Uncorrectable Sector Count is back to 0.ĭoes that mean the drive is now ok? I thought that error meant defects on the drive so I'm not sure how it is now gone. I didn't want to take chances so I ordered a new drive, and each day kept checking CrystalDiskInfo for changes, but nothing changed. I read online, and got some other forum responses, that this is bad and drive is failing. The other day I checked CrystalDiskInfo again and got a yellow Caution sign with an Uncorrectable Sector Count of 2. No slow downs during accessing files, watching videos or video editing. I read online somewhere that sometimes the drive spins slower if it doesn't need full speed so I ignored this. When I first ran CrystalDiskInfo, the health was good but it showed Rotate Rate 5400 RPM. The document drive is a Western Digital Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5'.
