Crc Cyclic Redundancy Check Advanced Rar Repair Serial Killer

I've been using uTorrent for quite a while to download things, but I've just recently built my PC - been about 6 months. Dude called Proximon helped me out, really nice guy and in the end the build turned out fine. Regardless, since then I've been using uTorrent a lot, and yesterday whilst downloading a torrent, I got an error - Data error (cyclic redundancy check) - just before the error popped up, what I believe to be my hard disk made a really weird noise, almost like it was choking. Hard drive has been fine since, and everything seems to be working, I used Auslogics Repair Disk feature and there weren't any errors, can't seem to get chkdisk going though - even when I attempt to force a dismount. Only thing I'm worried about is the HDD dying, it's only been a few months and I should have it covered under warranty, but my question is, is this a definite sign that my HDD is dying?

Cheers -Faheem. Use speedfan or some other free utility to check the SMART status of the drive. Also, you didn't mention the make/model of the drive. Anyhow, go to the drive manufacturer's web site and download their drive tool (seagate = seatools, WD = WD lifeguard.) and run some tests on the drive. If it fails the drive manufacturer's tests and it's still under warranty you should have no problems getting an RMA. Also, if you have concerns, start backing up data now.

It failed the Quick Test - it's a Caviar Blue 500GB This is what came up. Test Option: QUICK TEST Model Number: WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0 Unit Serial Number: WD-WMAYUM449048 Firmware Number: 15.01H15 Capacity: 500.11 GB SMART Status: PASS Test Result: FAIL Test Error Code: 06-Quick Test on drive 1 did not complete! Status code = 07 (Failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint = 97 (Unknown Test) SMART self-test did not complete on drive 1! Test Time: 12:57:14, March 27, 2013 I have no idea what any of that means. I have another question though, I've used a Laptop before this for well over 3 years and I had no problems with the HDD in it - just had a minor over heating issue but that's fine. The number of torrents I downloaded or the way I generally treated the laptop was lot worse than I've treated this computer (randomly pulling the battery out, force shutting it down etc.) I haven't done any of that to my new build - so what do you think causes this? Before 2008, I used a computer with a 3GB HDD which was manufactured in the early 90's and I treated that worse than I treated the laptop - but again no problems with that.

Why is it that this happens with new and modern technology and in the past, I didn't encounter many hardware errors? So yeh, what causes the CRC errors? Hard drives are mechanical in nature and thus prone to fail eventually. Some bad drives make it past QC (quality control) and into the market.

Anyhow, hard drives can die at anytime which is why you should always have backups. That error code is specific to the WD lifeguard tool so I'm not sure what it means other than the test failed. It failed on a read, so there may be sector damage.

6n6p v drajvere unch 2. You have enough information there to get an RMA from WD. If you bought the drive through Amazon, Newegg, or something, I'd try to RMA through them first as it's sometimes faster than going directly through the drive manufacturer.

This is all asuming the drive is still under warranty. The caviar blue's have a 3 year warranty. Unfortunately there is no way to tell how long it may last. If you check the smart staus of the drive and see reallocated sectors, but the current pending sectors is still at zero then you may have some time left. The current pending sector count doesn't start going up until all spare sectors on the drive are used up.
