[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1557555, member: 38864"] According to [URL="http://kb.acronis.com/content/9128"]this page[/URL], it's a potential indicator of a drive nearing end of life, but does not absolutely mean it is failing. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T."]Wikipedia's page[/URL] indicates that the lifetime rating for laptop drives is 300,000 to 600,000 load cycles. At 327.134 (eh... yer in Europe, I take it? That'd be 327,134 to me then... LOL! Now that makes sense...), then the software is estimating the drive has 1% left of its lifetime load cycles. It's JUST an estimate based on the "expected" lifetime rating as per Wikipedia's entry. So no, don't panic, but be aware and implement a regular backup plan if you haven't already. [/QUOTE]
