The drive WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 has logged 217,140 CRC error(s) on its SATA interface, a high count that points to a connection problem. This is NOT a drive failure; the drive itself is likely healthy, but the cable, port, or backplane carrying its data was unreliable when the errors occurred. The counter is cumulative over the drive's whole lifetime, so these errors may be years old and come from an issue that has long been resolved.
If the count is still increasing, reseat or replace the SATA data cable, try a different SATA port, and check for issues with the drive sled or backplane in this chassis. If multiple drives in the same system show CRC errors, the chassis wiring is the likely culprit.

Your RAM is currently operating at a lower frequency than it was designed for. It is running at 2394.2 MT/s, while its rated speed is 3200 MT/s.
This doesn’t cause issues, but you may miss out on some performance.
Enabling the proper memory profile (XMP/EXPO/DOCP) in the BIOS usually restores the RAM to its intended speed. It’s optional, but adjusting this setting can help your system run a bit faster.
The drive WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 has performed 477,442 head load/unload cycles, exceeding the 300,000-cycle rating typical for desktop hard drives.
Some drives park their heads after only a few seconds of inactivity to save power, which can inflate this counter far beyond its design rating over the years. Exceeding the rating means the parking mechanism is past its validated wear envelope, not that failure is imminent.
Keep backups of important data and monitor this drive's SMART attributes. If the counter grows quickly, the drive's idle-parking timer can often be relaxed with a manufacturer utility.
The drive WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 has reported 1733 media error(s).
Media errors indicate that the drive was unable to read from or write to the NAND media successfully. A small number of media errors may be recoverable, but any increase can indicate failing flash cells, controller issues, or progressive drive degradation.
Back up any important data on this drive immediately, monitor the error count for further increases, and consider replacing the drive if the count continues to rise or reaches a critical level.
The drive WDC WD40EZRZ-00GXCB0 has performed 951,727 head load/unload cycles, more than double the 300,000-cycle rating typical for desktop hard drives.
The head-parking mechanism is far past its validated wear envelope, usually the result of an aggressive idle-parking timer accumulating cycles for years. Mechanical wear on the head ramp increases the risk of read errors and eventual drive failure.
Back up any important data on this drive now and plan its replacement. Relaxing the idle-parking timer with a manufacturer utility can slow further wear, but the accumulated cycles cannot be undone.
