To prevent data loss, I use an external hard drive to keep another copy. I need to back up more regularly without the help of S.M.A.R.T. Unfortunately, I cannot disable the warning on TAS-268. It might be TAS-268 cannot interrupt or read its S.M.A.R.T. correctly. Therefore, I believe my Laptop SSHD is in healthy condition.

I run following non-destructive test and all reports “100% Test PASS”. You need to scroll down to the end or you cannot click on the “Accept” button to test. SeaTools launches automatically after it loads a Linux kernel. A clean environment is usually a better choice than a dirty Windows. I plan to use a notebook to check, therefore, I download SeaTools Bootable to create a bootable flash. I believe it may read and analyze S.M.A.R.T. in Laptop SSHD more accurately than third-party tools. But there is another story on What does end-to-end disk error mean?, it continuous working in the next 15 months.Īfter reading more stories about End-to-End error, I decide to use SeaTools which is a diagnostic tool from the original hard drive vendor. Open the S.M.A.R.T. information tab, there seems to be something wrong in End-to-End_Error item. While setting up a new QNAP TAS-268 with my old Seagate Laptop SSHD, it displays a warning message.
