asked on Is This Hard Drive on Dell Windows 7 going to fail - SMART Errors
Dell Inspirion ONE All in One - Windows 7. About 4 years old.
Last week, there were constant error messages about the drive having problems.
This week, these messages stopped.
I downloaded CrystalDisk, and it shows two errors.
Thanks

- Is this drive about to stop working?
- Is this a small error?
- If so, can we live with it for a while? If so, how long?
Thanks

We are going to take a chance with this hard drive - we have a daily backup, and the machine is mostly used for email and web. Replacing the hard drive appears to be a bother (all in one is sealed, and I would have to pry open the case, and I am unsure of what's underneath)
ok fair enough
All in one computers can have heat issues, if the air intakes are blocked, some folks like to use them for bookends, or back them up against cube walls. Just make sure none of the vents are blocked and you should be fine.
As long you have your backup, then ride that drive until it's dead, however can you guarantee it will not die while doing a backup, if the backup is not critically important then my first statement applies ride until dead
