Hi,

I purchased some used Samsung MZ7WD480's a while ago and finally got around to checking them out.

HDD Guardian freaked me out because it says all the drives have 1% remaining life and then I checked them out with Hard Disk Sentinel and it puts them at 99% health (based on #177 Wear Leveling Count). Can someone take a look at the SMART data and help me understand if there is life left in these or not? I think HDD Guardian is looking at 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator
