I looked at the SMART data for the two hard drives and the SSD in the computer a month or so ago. No problems there. However, the drives are old. 8-10 years for one, even older for the other. The SSD, is maybe four or five years old? The only thing I have on the hard drives is my Calibre library on one drive, and some misc (unused) Linux distros on the other. I'll disconnect the hard drives and see if that helps. That's not something I would have thought to do. I do have a spare SSD also, that I could install if required.
