GPT Analysis

Common Observations (Both HDDs)

Overall Health:
- Both drives passed the overall health self-assessment, indicating no critical issues detected by SMART.
Reallocated Sector Count:
- 0 for both drives. This indicates no bad sectors have been replaced, which is a good sign of drive health.
Pending Sectors:
- 0 for both drives. This means there are no sectors waiting to be reallocated due to read/write issues.
Temperature:
- Drive 1 (Serial: 9MHKNGPK): Current temp is 33°C (Min/Max: 21°C/36°C).
- Drive 2 (Serial: X0GAA2JC): Current temp is 31°C (Min/Max: 21°C/35°C).
- These temperatures are well within the recommended operating range (0°C to 60°C), and there is no indication of thermal stress.
Helium Level:
- Both drives report a helium level of 100. This is a normalized value indicating the integrity of the helium fill (important for high-capacity drives).
Error Logging:
- No errors logged for either drive in the SMART error or self-test logs.

General Observations (SSD)

Overall Health:
- The drive passed the SMART overall-health self-assessment, indicating it is functioning properly without detected critical issues.
Critical Warning:
- Value: 0x00. There are no critical warnings flagged by the drive.
Temperature:
- Temperature Sensor 1: 52°C.
- Temperature Sensor 2: 36°C.
- These temperatures are within acceptable operational limits (critical threshold: 85°C). However, the 52°C reading may indicate localized heating; consider ensuring adequate cooling for the SSD.
Power On Hours:
- The drive reports 0 hours, which suggests it has seen very minimal or recent use. (This could also indicate a reporting issue if the drive has been used more extensively.)
Power Cycles:
- The drive has undergone 15 power cycles. This is normal for a new or lightly used drive.
Unsafe Shutdowns:
- The drive has logged 8 unsafe shutdowns. This could occur from abrupt power losses. While this is not necessarily alarming, repeated unsafe shutdowns should be avoided as they can lead to data corruption.
Data Usage:
- Data Units Read: 124 (equivalent to ~63.4 MB).
- Data Units Written: 144 (equivalent to ~73.7 MB).
- The drive has seen minimal data usage, consistent with the low power-on hours.
Spare Capacity:
- Available Spare: 100%. The drive has all of its spare capacity available, indicating no NAND wear.
- Percentage Used: 0%. The drive is essentially new, with no visible wear on the NAND cells.
Error Logs:
- Media and Data Integrity Errors: 0. No errors have been logged, indicating stable performance.
- Error Information Log Entries: 0. The drive has not reported any operational errors.

Drive-Specific Details

Drive 1: Serial 9MHKNGPK

Power-On Hours: 76 hours. This drive is relatively new.
Spin-Up Time: Value of 276 (Average 390). Indicates the time taken to get the drive platter to operating speed; this is within normal limits.
Mechanical Start Failures: 1. While there was one start failure, this is not necessarily alarming unless it becomes frequent.

Drive 2: Serial X0GAA2JC

Power-On Hours: 76 hours. Similarly, this drive is also new.
Spin-Up Time: Value of 348 (Average 382). Also within normal limits.
Mechanical Start Failures: 1. Matches Drive 1, with no additional issues.

Drive 3: Serial S7M3NL0X908811H

Health: The SSD is in excellent condition with no errors, data integrity issues, or significant wear.
Temperature: While within safe limits, the 52°C reading on one sensor may warrant monitoring, especially under heavier workloads.
Unsafe Shutdowns: Though not critical, the 8 unsafe shutdowns suggest a need to ensure proper power-off procedures to avoid potential data issues in the future.

Interpretation

Both hard drives are in excellent condition. They have low usage (only 76 hours), no reallocated or pending sectors, and no reported uncorrectable errors. The temperatures are stable, and helium levels are intact, ensuring drive longevity and reliability.

The Samsung SSD 990 EVO 1TB is in pristine condition, showing no signs of wear or errors. The drive has undergone minimal usage, with no critical warnings, data integrity issues, or operational errors reported. Its available spare capacity is at 100%, and the NAND cells have experienced zero wear, as indicated by the 0% usage. While the temperatures are within safe limits, the slightly elevated 52°C reading on one sensor may benefit from improved airflow or cooling, particularly during heavy workloads. The logged unsafe shutdowns are not critical but suggest the importance of clean power-off procedures to prevent potential data risks. Overall, the SSD is ready for reliable and intensive use.
