Hi,
I was checking one of my systems and the SMART data for /dev/sda came
out as below. Should I change it to avoid loosing data? If not, which
information in SMART data indicates that it is time to do it?
Thanks,

My personal experience with WD drives is that Raw_Read_Error_Rate is the
best indicator of drive degradation. In your case, it's 0, which is fine.
UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 200 200 051 Pre-fail Always
- 0
But...... It looks like your drive has never actually run any tests:
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
No self-tests have been logged. [To run self-tests, use: smartctl -t]
Looks to me like the first thing you have to do is actually RUN some tests.
Try:
- smartctl -s on -A /dev/<whatever>
