Hi,
I would appreciate some advice on maintence/need to replace HD as my relocated sector count is increasing quickly and is now at 714!
I was getting intermittent picture "breakup" and blank screen before it resumed, it also sometimes reported no signal but have checked aerial input signal quality which is OK!
The HD is a pipeline 1TB ST31000424CS and has a power on of 9036 hours.
I have done a full diskcheck 3 times and it had lots of problem inodes which it corrected. It had 2 multiple inodes on one particular recording but seemed to have froze while correcting them on one file (waited an hour).
When I did the last check one of the multiple inodes had been corrected but cannot seem to remove the other.
How should I generally need the testdisk running to correct multiple inodes?
Is the HD likely to fail soon!?
I have been looking at Seagate Iron Wolf 1TB and Seagate Sky Hawk 1TB. The Sky Hawk has a £10 premium is it worth the extra!
Are both likely to have the same noise levels (I cannot find info on this parameter)?
I did some reading on the Wiki and assume I will still need to align sectors using linux fdisk on a new HD?
Thanks for your time
