Thanks, Dave. Sound information and I will certainly check out the programs you mention. And thanks for reminding us to check our hard drives on a regular basis because I haven't done it in quite a while. I do back up though, just to be sure to be sure. :) I love the pace of your videos and the fact that there is no thumping bass in the background and you speak calmly and clearly. Just what an instruction video needs. Cheers.

Thank you for the info. I was searching for items that would help with this issue. I think my laptop HD is failing, so backing it up will be step number one! I figure that any method of isolating bad sectors will corrupt the OS. BTW, It appears that someone has just taken your specific 5 methods and shuffled them around a bit to create a " 5 Methods to Check your Hard Drive Health in Windows 10 | Know about Bad Sector" video (uploaded 3 March, 2020). They even use the same two third-party tools as examples. That jumped out at me as, per my searching, i know there are other third-party tools they could have shown. Not much can be done about it, I'm sure. Just though you should know..

Also, thanks dude, great video; super clear and to the point! I've just ordered a new 5TB HDD from Amazon, but Amazon are notorious for selling returned/used items.

Thank you! Yes, if your HDD is formatted, the info will still show up. So if your HDD has been used for 100 hours, drive then formatted, then used for another 100 hours, it will show up as 200 hours usage. It will also keep track of the number of times it's been powered on, formatted or not.

Hello, Sir. Great video... May I ask something? Normally, how long is the life span of WD internal HDD 512GB which being used in Asus X453M? I have been using it from 2015 till now. I have checked the disk using the steps you tell in this video.. and everything is ok.. I consider to change from Asus to Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3i 14IAU7 Intel i3 1215U and use the old disk from Asus to be the addition storage.. Is it ok? Can you give an opinion for this case? Thank you..

@EasyPcRepairs

A Western Digital HDD will typically last for about 5 years if it's used as the main 'C' drive, though this will vary depending on how much it has been used and various other factors. But a WD HDD that is not the main drive (perhaps the 'D' drive for example) will typically last for around 10 years. Again, these are just rough estimates. Some will tell you how their WD drive has lasted 15+ years and is still going strong. I think it's a good idea for you to use your WD drive for additional storage, but check its health now and then with one of the tools that I have shown in the video such as "CrystalDiskInfo".
