Would you replace this hard drive?

[Feek]

My Time Capsule is nearly seven years old and recently I've noticed that it's become painfully slow to complete the backups.

I've pulled the drive out, connected it to my iMac and run DriveDX over it.

With no excuse for the large images :





The Throughput performance indicator is only 2% above the threshold and although some of the other parameters look a bit low, nothing there really says it's bad.

The full overnight scan didn't report any errors.

What do you reckon?

Thanks.

What are you using it for?

It's in my Time Capsule - Effectively backing up an iMac, a MacBook and a MacBook Pro

Do you have a full back up of all the data?

Actually that's a good question. Everything is backed up elsewhere but it does mean I'd lose a few years worth of actual backups. That's not really a problem though.
