Hard Disk Health Suddenly Low after Read Test
Posted: 2017.07.24. 09:38
Hello,
I have a Western Digital Blue 1000GB Internal 5400RPM 2.5" (WD10JPVX) running Windows 10 64 Bit newly installed barely 3 months back.
The Health & Performance was 100 % until last night
I performed a Surface Test - Read test overnight and the final notification screen showed No Errors
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, When I went back to the main screen, it suddenly shows that the Drive is bad health of 23%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can a new drive performing at 100% suddenly crash to 23% after a surface read test ? Is the tool reporting the values wrong ? or did the read test spoil the drive ? How can I fix this ?
Thanks for your replies.
