SMART reporting spin-up time for hard drive at 130?

SMART reporting spin-up time for hard drive at 130?

i've noticed it dropping over the last week...:(

its a Hitachi hard drive and i've only had it about a year.

should i be worried?

i read somewhere that anything above 70 is acceptable?

speedfan says this:

NOTE : your hard disk Spin Up Time attribute current value (130) is below the normal range (132 - 197) reported for your specific hard disk model. Recently purchased hard disks that were not yet power cycled many times might experience a low value here and it wouldn't be a problem as, after some time, the value should raise towards better ones. If, on the other side, your hard disk is not that new and it was powered on several times this might mean its mechanic is getting old. According to Power Cycle Count attribute, your hard disk was powered on 931 times and this seems to indicate that your hard disk is not brand new and that some kind of drive's mechanic poorer performance is occurring. Usually this attribute is not so relevant by itself, but it might reinforce some other deduction when looking at the global picture.

The overall fitness for this drive is 88%.
