Interpreting SMART results

Data LifeGuard’s warranty column indicates whether a particular attribute will qualify your drive for replacement if its value falls below the threshold. Such attributes, eg Re-allocated Sector count, are considered critical. Other attributes, such as Start/Stop Count, would reflect wear-and-tear and would therefore not be warranty-able.

That said, you will get a more detailed view of your SMART data with either of the following utilities:

HD Sentinel (DOS / Windows / Linux):

HDDScan for Windows:

Look for reallocated, pending, or uncorrectable sectors.
