Acer V3-572G & HDD Smart Value

mcap83

Hi, I'm Matteo from Italy and this is my first message here.

One month ago I've bougth a new notebook, an ACER Aspire V3-572G-596M. This pc mount as HDD a TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 (2.5", 5400rpm, 1TB).

During this month I've done some test to control it, and used CrystalDiskInfo e HDTune to check-up the HDD. In the last days, I've noticed that the Smart value "0A-Spin retry count" is arrived at 121.

Is it normal that the value is raising about 20% in one month? Other value are normal, only that value is changing...

Don't worry, Spin retry count it's just a counter about how many turns disk has to do before reaching the top speed.

Thanks, now the value is raising up to 124. So is it not a problem ?  

IronFly

i think it's normal if you add files to HDD, since heads must skip here and there to read files, so speed must be lower.

keep it monitored and if HDD smart gives you any warning call Acer  support if you are under warranty.

Thanks again
