Im not sure I see this a big deal. I guess for people that don’t know to check drive health, it may be alarming to have a warning staring you down.

    Pretty scummy overall, but average user probably doesn’t understand the drives could fail at any moment and that the older the drives age the more likely it will fail.

    Regardless though, it would better serve to warn users to have a backup of their data than just a blanket age-shaming.
