Speedfan indications

I'm using Speedfan diagnostics, and today i checked, it gave me this message from the diagnostics web.

NOTE : your hard disk Power On Hours Count attribute current value (98) is below the normal range (99 - 100) reported for your specific hard disk model. Basically your hard disk was powered on for more than the maximum time the average user did. This means that either all of the reports collected are from hard disks that were not powered on for too long (this is realistic for recent models) or that your hard disk is becoming old. Usually this is not considered as a pre-failure advisory, but you should check whether you want to replace the hardware or keep an eye on its performances over time.

Ok, my A8Jp was bought 3 months ago, so no way it can be becoming old.

I game for several hours a day, so how do i rememdy this problem? Will it affect my hard disk in the long run?

 

I don't think there is a problem.... Just ignore the Speedfan Diag

 

I would not worry about it either...what are the typical HDD MTBF numbers? Over 100,000hrs for sure. I think had HDD's as the most durable parts of a computer. If left alone and running they pretty much will never die. I still have drives running in a couple OLD systems from the early '90s...big huge 5MB & 10MB drives.

You could run the drive maker's diags on it to be sure there are no pending failures. It might help you have some confidence in the drive.

 

serious? but isn't Speedfan quite a reliable monitor....i'm hoping that theres nothing wrong too.....

 

It is, but I don't think they have enough data to analyze yours correctly.
