Failing HDD(s)

[Shibathedog]

I suspect one or more of my HDDs is failing, is CHKDISK a good enough tool to see if im right?

[Renzor]

is it an external one? or internal how many do you have

[ken_cinder]

SMART utilities are a good bet. CHKDSK won't tell you anything beyond dead clusters.

would speedfan be sufficient? i know it has SMART features but i havent really used them besides hitting go and saying hmm that cool and closing it

 

and they are internal

 

i think only 1 of the 3 is actually failing. But im not sure. Either way im getting a new SATA HDD soon, but i shouldnt bother keeping these drives if they are failing.
