Hi guys,
Can I trust this HDD anymore? FWIW, I recovered all needed data, deleted all partition and I just want to know if I should unplugged or I can still use it for ie. downloads.

Hi,

You can continue using it but be prepared that files saved on it may become damaged, corrupted, unredable - and it may fail completely any time.
If this is acceptable and you store only temporary (not-too-important-and-could-be-lost) data, you can still use it.

Hi,

Thank you a lot for your quickly response?
teo.
