You can do two things
- Verify firmware update for your drive, this will make sure that the drive is not generating the false alarm. If there is no BIOS update then the alarm is correct.
- Verify a BIOS update for your system, at times the BIOS will give a false alarm but if the BIOS is up-to-date and the problem is still there then I am afraid to say that the error is correct and it is a time to get a new drive.
