Should I worry about Spin Retry Count?
One of my oldest drives a 200GB Maxtor, has a spin retry count problem.
HD Sentinel reports its health at only 40% due to this. But it seems the spin retries only happen during bootup. If I keep the machine running, it never happens. It also doesn't happen during warm reboots, just occasionally during the cold starts. So I'm thinking it's got no real recurring problem, just a power-up problem. Yousuf Khan
