Hi again:
Below are the results of that HD Tune up Readout
Occasionally the temperature went a degree or two over 55 Celsius,
triggering an alert. Not sure how to ensure lower temperatures
consisntently, nor whether 55 Celsius is really the optimal cutoff.
Suggestions on this?
Also, as I mention below the: "(05) Reallocated Sector Count" was
highlighted in yellow. Not sure how to interpret that.
But all parameters, including temperature are marked: OK. The scan showed no
damaged sectors.
