If you do, then use the DiskCheckup software from PassMark. This software is free for personal use and $15 for business licenses. Just download it, unzip it and run the DiskCheckup executable to get an instant report on the health of your drive. The software reads the data put out by the S.M.A.R.T. feature standard on most hard drives nowadays and can tell you through a simple to read report if it’s time to really back up the files on the drive and get ready for its demise. I ran a report on my laptop’s drive, and it passed with flying colors. I’m alright for now!
