Take a look at this, this is really startin to bug me a lot.

Should I be concerned and should I even believe this??? I am worried :(

hehehe i got this file frm SecretSquirrel, and i sent it to u, no ur all paranoid with ur HDD.

Can someone please tell us if these test are reliable..
I got like 80% with my 3 Year Old Quantum 15.2gb HDD, and i get 100% with my new Samsung 40gb drive.

and is that freshly fragmented?
how old is the drive?
how long since you last formatted it?

Drive is 9 months old...... Seagate Bara IV 40GB 7200rpm
Last format was a few months ago (mabye even 4, bugger.. that will soon change fast).

Fragmentation: (u want the report details as well?)

I get much worse than that off my Cuda 2 15gb...

Much worse.

And thats before and after a complete non-quick format. All the other drives I have seen (non-seagates) have had good results.

May be a bug with thosedrives, may be those drives are shizer...
