I found an earlier version 2.0.0 in my app folder, a demo that still worked. It declared my WD 1TB green "Failing" because it has 6 reallocated bad blocks but declared my Seagate hybrid as fine. As the WD is working flawlessly ever since one crash I guess I'll wait and see, I have a 5-year warranty and use CCC on a weekly basis. The shop where I bought the Seagate tests all RMAs on a PC and if they still work refuse to accept the warranty claim. Everything's working fine now, keep my fingers crossed ...
