Seagate hard drive dying too soon, and inconsistent results from disk health checkups.

My 4TB Seagate drive (Seagate Barracuda 2.5 5400 model, one of the Playstation branded ones) is supposedly dying, and I’ve had it for just over a year, which feels like it’s way too soon for it to die. My previous drive lasted for three or four years.

I’ve tried running disk health utilities and aren’t sure what to do. I use a Mac, and Apple’s own disk health utilities say it can’t be repaired and needs to be replaced (though I can still open and copy files from it). I ran another disk health checkup from DriveDx, and it said that my drive is in perfect health.

I’ll probably buy another drive anyway, but I’m not quite sure which checkup is correct.
