I'm looking at SMART for two drives - one is a 250GB hard drive that I bought with a desktop from CL. The other is a 4TB Seagate model that I bought about a year and a half ago. The smaller drive has 200 listed for both the uncorrectable and pending sector count, but doesn't show up as a warning or any concerns. The 4TB drive has 94 in both of those categories and everything I use to test basically says the drive is hosed and to replace it. Is there something I'm missing here? Why would there be no warnings with a higher count? Is the 4TB drive not long for this world?

Gromit posted:If that is coming out of CrystalDiskInfo, are you telling us the raw values? Ah, makes more sense. The good drive has 0 in both current pending sector count and uncorrectable sector count. The bad drive raw value is a bunch of zeros then 450 for both. I'm assuming that's Real Bad. DiskCheckup has it as 1104 in both.

I was using Firestorm yesterday and cranked the fans to 100% on my GTX970, which promptly resulted in a black screen, but the computer operating. This had happened before, but I figured it was because the fans were going 100% and made a note to not have the profile ever go to 100%. The temps rarely broke 70C before, so not a big deal. When I booted today, I was in 640x480 monochrome with the card showing an error in device manager. I rebooted and everything appeared to work fine. I was playing a light game, and the monitors went blank. It happened on both so that rules out a monitor issue. When I booted up, I had a black screen with a green bar, again fixed by rebooting. I'm 99% sure my card is dying, but is there anything I'm missing here? Could this be a motherboard or PSU issue? I unfortunately don't have another motherboard or graphics card to test.

Are my hard drives sitting at 40C in a case 24x7 a big deal? The case is a Dell Optiplex 990 MT case, and the cooling is dog poo poo. I've taken out anything that could generate heat (GPU, optical drive) but it's just a matter of poor airflow. I stuck a very small desk fan in front of the case pointed at the drives and it dropped HD temps to around 34C. Ambient is around 25C.

Geemer posted:40°C is pretty normal operating temperature for hard drives. 50°C is when things start to get a bit more dicey. Awesome, thank you!

I'm moving my Plex/general use home server into a new case, and wondering if I should get a new PSU. From Dell's site, it looks like this machine originally shipped in Feb 2012, so 4+ years. i7-2600 (non-K) 2x 4GB RAM modules 2x 4TB HD in RAID1 1x 120GB SSD 3 or 4x fans (120/140mm) This is run with no peripherals and in a closet, 24/7. Online the PSU calculators are all over the map, but I'm pretty sure anything will be better considering the current Dell PSU is 265W. Is the EVGA 430W 80+ White (lol) a huge pile of poo poo? Reviews seem decent and it's dirt cheap at $24.

teagone posted:Asked this in the PC building thread, no response yet: I'm pulling the trigger on a Plex server build I'm putting together for a family friend soon. Any reason I should be wary about purchasing two of these 3TB Toshiba P300 HDDs for his bulk storage needs? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822149633&ignorebbr=1 Should be fine, but why not spring for a NAS drive? If there is a lot of usage on the server it may be worth it. Are you putting them in RAID1?

I have an old dash cam that I was wondering if I could rig up the dash cam to act as a video camera at the house. The microSD storage would fill up pretty quickly, so I'm wondering if there is something that I could plug into the microSD slot but could output to a spare hard drive i have via USB. Sort of the opposite of the SD card readers.
