The drive is 23398 power on Hours old. Thats 974 Days or 2.67 years. So the drive is probably dying if not dead.
Western Digital WD2500AAJS Caviar Blue Hard Drive is very common and inexpensive.
The standard OEM warranty on these drives is 1 year and the retail warranty is 3 years from date of manufacture if you do not have a retail receipt.
I have a similar problem, and mine isn't old at all...
The device reported the following status: The previous self-test completed having the electrical element of the test failed.
The first failing LBA value is 0 and the failure occurred after the device had been operating for 6744 power-on hours.
Failed (Error code: WHD16-NYO)
This array is less than 60 days old and I power off when I'm not using it, how could it accumulate all of those hours? Dell's rigorous testing? I don't think they test drives for 4000 hours or more, jeez!! These are the seagate models, would anyone suggest a "better" upgrade? Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Jeanie :)
At the risk of Hijacking this thread... my 13081 hour/545 day/1.5 year old WD Cavion Blue 500g drive in my latitude E6500 just reported the same thing. I tried to replace it with a WD Cavion Blue 1TB drive, but have discovered the large format BIOS issue where the sector size is incorrectly reported at 3072bytes, although it really is 4096...which makes my SQL Server instances cranky. So far, I have not found a solution to the incorrect sector size issue, and may have to fall back to a smaller drive. I am disappointed however, that this drive only survived a year and a half... it is still "operational"... but throwing "USB Device not recognized" errors every hour or so.
my HDD is Seagate ST320LM000 HM321HI n it is showing "SMART short self test" as well as "Targeted read test" with code"WHD16-EQX" does it also mean that my drive is about to die?

Thank you, you were very helpful. I may have to start using Dell Community more often.

Run the Dell diagnostics - extended hard drive test. F12 at powerup.
