how do i read smart data to tell if a drive is dying? !!

finally got it working, thanks everyone

@lambdawarden-3l8 nah thats not it, drive-health has nothing to do with it. pro tip: write down what u change. i didnt and had to redo drive from scratch idk maybe im wrong lol

@ines_binary works on paper, not in real life just my 2 cents

wish i read this 3 pages ago

yesss ok update: did what @zmendes said and its fine now 🔥 try turning off teh settings first, fixed it for me owe u a beer 🍺

@vik.ueda what did u end up doing in the end

@ines_binary what did u end up doing in the end

+1 same here

hmmm have u checked your hdd settings? mine were reset after an update hope that helps :)

respectfully disagree, i tried that and it made drive-health worse

came here to say exactly this hope that helps :)

told my boss it would take 10 minutes. its been all weekend

🤔

:D

unrelated but anyone elses coffee machine also judging them today

wait does this also apply to dying?, spent a whole week on smart and im still not done ??

uhh is drive-health even worth bothering with or should i just leave it. my mac is officially haunted

oh also mods can we pin this thread. wait does this also apply to hdd? :)
