HDD Health:ERROR - Start/Stop Count


T.F.7

Recommended Posts

The S.M.A.R.T. attributes are explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

 

This parameter is considered informational by the most hardware vendors. Although degradation of this parameter can be an indicator of drive aging and/or potential electromechanical problems, it does not directly indicate imminent drive failure. Regular backup is recommended. Pay closer attention to other parameters and overall drive health.

 

Do you have the laptop power management set to turn off the HDD after x amount of time? That may be why the start/stop count is so high.

 

My laptop has more power-on hours (503d) than yours (127d), but fewer start/stops (1,600) than yours (110,513). I have my HDD set to not shut down.
