[QUOTE="Vasudev, post: 445637, member: 30411"] Maybe [USER=10837]@Purshu_Pro[/USER] was suggesting to connect faulty HDD as an external device and checking with HD Sentinel. SMART values can be reported incorrectly if SMART warning system is disabled in BIOS. This is one rare occurrence 1 in every 1 million chance, incorrectly setting SATA controller could cause SMART to misinterpret data. Be sure to set it to AHCI and not set it to compatible mode.
