Is this external Seagate 500 GB HDD dying?

Ant wrote

FYI. I haven't had time to rerun the long tests and try with the installed
free HD Sentinel due to my forced eviction move.

You were warned about repeatedly kicking the landlord's cat...

I did run another Time Machine after a couple weeks ago, and had no
problems.

I recalled people mentiopower issues with these external USB HDDs without
their power AC. I forgot to mention that I mostly use them without
connecting the MacBook Pros' power AC connection. Maybe that caused the
data corruption?

Shouldn't do. The worst it should do is see
the laptop shut down as the battery runs out.

Yeah, I wonder why it couldn't finish its long tests with GSmartControl.

Hi Ant.

It looks fine, but there are the two aborted self-tests. Unless
this thing can at least get one long SMART selftest done, I
would not trust it. It may have issues that do not show up
in SMART.

Hello.

Earlier today, I tried to do a weekly back up (Time Machine) but Mac OS
X 10.8.5 refused to mount its MacHFS partition (FAT32 was OK). Its Disk
Utility ran for a long time on MacHFS partition, couldn't repair it,
and
told me to back it up if possible. Since it was a back up of the
working
MacBook Pro, I decided to format it and back up from scratch to see
what
happens. Both quick format and full 126.1 GB back up (took about a
couple hours -- too slow?) had no problems.

Just for kicks, I decided to connect this old USB2 Seagate FreeAgent G
portable HDD to my Debian/Linux box to run gsmartctl, but it couldn't
read SMART data with gsmartctl. I tried my very old, updated Windows XP
Pro SP3 machine and it had no problems with gsmartctl. I ran its short
tests and no problems. I ran its 2.22... hours long tests, but it
(fail/abort)ed. Maybe I shouldn't be multitasking. Can someone please
kindly review what the logs say:

the bathtub curve does not say you have to run a drive to get to reach
normal reliability.

what it says is that some will fail early on and some will fail much
later and between those points will be random failures.

that makes you the idiot.

Funny. Actually, it does. Of course you have to discard early
failures. But the very point is that you cannot efficiently
determine beforehand which ones will be early failures and
which ones will not be, hence you run them in a "burn in"
to make the early failures reveal themselves.

Really, this is all standad and exceedingly well established
engineering. Read a book or something but stop claiming
bull****. I have to say though that even the most stupid
engineering students usually understand this idea.

As I've said before, I have experienced data corruption due to USB power
issues twice in my life time. It's probably less common today, but it
certainly can and has happened.

And there you reveal yourself. I am not referring to any

This is a discipline where there are established facts.

OK, I finally found some free time for now. FYI on HD Sentinel v4.50 in
my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine: "The hard disk status

spin up or data transfer errors.

No actions needed.

This was after I ran another manual Mac OS X 10.8.5's TimeMachine backup
(1.22 GB) for this week.

Just for kicks, I ran GSmartControl's extended self-test but it again
aborted after a few minutes with six/6 green test status bar blocks
showing (started with 2 hours and 18 minutes to 2 hours and 16 before I
went AFK and returned). I checked its results:
