I'm running Windows 10 using the recently updated versions of Scanner and Drivepool. About an hour ago, I got the dreaded gold shield in the tray stating that a drive was going bad and was predicted to completely fail within 24 hours.
Wonderful. So, I open Scanner, look at the drive, and everything looks normal. Not a single SMART value out of line. No bad sectors reported. Drive reports as healthy.
I'm confuzzled and a little weirded out. What could cause this? Is this drive really going bad or was it some transient issue that has since self-corrected? I no longer see the shield icon, so there's that (at least). Does Scanner keep a logfile around somewhere about these (presumably dire) events that has more information?
