Need your opinion about the heath of an internal HDD
by hifi100 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CSMV)
Hi,
I have installed Lubuntu 20.04 on a Samsung internal SSD.
I am also using a Seagate spinning HDD for data only.
I had posted the Smart Test results of the HDD on a different forum & I was adviced to not store any important data on the HDD.
I have stored a lot of data on the HDD & haven't faced any data corruption whatsoever. So I am confused.
Can you please tell me your opinion about the health of this HDD ?
