You got a malfunction which could be minor or could be an early
indicator of a more serious problem or upcoming drive failure.

First Question: How old is your server?

If the answer to that question is more than 2 years, I wouldn't bother wasting time diagnosing further and go ahead and replace the drive. In fact older than 2 years, I'd consider replacing the entire server just as it will probably be more cost effective to go ahead and migrate over to something a little bit newer technology.

Second Question: What is your backup situation?

Hopefully the answer to that question is not "what is a backup?" :D

Age servers can be said is still young just 4 months

Your suggestion to replace the HDD is very useful, but is there any other solution other than replacing the HDD?

If you're not sure what brand/model of drive is in your server, check with your datacenter. Then, look up the safe operating temperatures for your particular drive. This warning was triggered because your drive is running ~ 50 degrees celcius (122 degrees F). This temperature could (a) be normal for your particular drive, (b) indicate a potential drive problem (friction generates heat), or (c) indicate poor cooling around your server. You should (always) back up your data regardless, to be safe.

How does one enable S.M.A.R.T. and configure it on cPanel servers?
