Though the drive is apparently still good...
it does have a lot of hours on it.

I don't know what the flood in Thailand did ...but I just checked NewEgg
and you can get a new hard drive for about 100USD or so.

I'd consider replacing it...but I don't think you have to rush.

OTOH: As long as all your data are backed up
and you keep it backed up. no need to worry
