As you can see, these two show my Hard Drive to be in good condition.

However, HDDLife shows my hard drive to be pretty poor and shows a work time of 2 weeks.

Which to believe? I'm tempted to go with the minority; but why would HDDLife, a program dedicated to monitoring hard disks, be wrong?

Is Work Time maybe how long the drive's been working so far?

But besides, it still shows my hard drive as pretty poor, my four year old one gets higher percentages. =/
