Running TechToolPro v9.6.1 on an Apple Mac Pro running OSX High Sierra v10.13.4. Five internal hard drives and five external hard drives in a SATA enclosure. One of my internal hard drives, a 500GB SSD, presents a WARNING when running the SMART Check Test. The two red bars just barely short of “Fail” are “Reallocated Sectors Count (5)” and “Reallocation Even Count (196)”. According to the TTP User Manual this indicates a pending drive failure; though this drive is not that old, just a few years. This SSD gets backed up automatically to an external hard drive nightly and that back up SSD also reports a similar SMART Warning - but I wonder if the back up is simply mimicking the state of the main drive (?). Can someone tell me if this WARNING notice is critical, and that I should replace the SSD? Thanks. Mark W. (I have attached a screen shot of the test report on the SSD).
