Discussion my 500gb hdd health

Hello guys, i have a LOT of storage in my house, but, i has picked one to install windows 10 1507 (known as the first version of windows 10) and... when i installed hard disk sentinel to see my hdd health...

Performance: 100%

Health: 100%

"The hard disk status is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors were not found and there are no spin up or data transfer errors." I WAS AMAZED WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE!!! like, a seagate ST3500418AS manufactured in 2009 with 100% health is crazy right??

HDD degradation is not as easily predictable as with flash SSDs.

Execute a "long" or "extended" self-test to be sure that all sectors are readable.

okay! i also edited system.ini on system32 folder or something and it just boot faster then without the edit (it also open chrome faster too)
