Can anyone explain this? How is it on a new drive, the health and perf can be at 54%? Its a Seagate 250GB drive I bought about 4 months ago.
Is it constantly being used, and left on 24/7?

Nope, not at all. Pay attention to the total uptime shown on the attachment.

Its typically on from 4PM-10:30PM on the weekdays and from 8AM-11PM on the weekends.

If you can afford it go for a new drive now IMHO. At least within the next 6 months. Why take the chance on loosing something you have spent hard work and time on. I'm reading from your attachment that the drive is experiencing problems that very likely will get worse - especially if you are using it continuously.
Maybe wait for someone more astute with modern hard drives to give you an answer.
Yeah you're prolly right. I wonder what breakthroughs will happen as far as SSD is concered. At the moment it looks best to stick with the ordinary kind of drive. Unless i win the lottery.
