   Hello Stas!   
      
    SM> Meanwhile, the colder your drive is, the longer it will live. I try not   
    SM> to warm my drives over 35øC.   
      
   True. Yes, integrated-circuits are best kept in cooler temps.      
   Meanwhile, my HDD seems to settle at 32C for most of the time.   
      
    AA>> Index verification completed.   
    AA>> Errors found.  CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.   
      
    SM> It only says that these files are currently open. This is normal. Try   
    SM> HDDscan. https://hddscan.com/download.html   
      
   Thx for the tip.   
      
   Meanwhile, CHKDSK C: /F /V /R did its magic successfully.

   But I did a Cleanup and Defrag before that.   
      
   Now the T60 seems noticeably faster too.  The defrag was     
   probably the most salient issue.  I don't recall the last time     
   I even bothered to check defrag of the smaller C: partition.   
      
   The H: partition had no CHKDSK errors at all.
