I have a problem with my wd 2500 jb 00REA0 hard drive. The SMART shows the spin up time is too small, so it fails the SMART check. I have the drive for about 2 years. This is what I get from hddreport
Your hard disk is a WDC WD2500JB-00REA0 with firmware 20.00K20.
The average temperature for this hard disk is 35C (MIN=22C MAX=47C) and yours is 42C.
Your hard disk's S.M.A.R.T. attributes are now being analyzed and a full report about the reliability, health and status of your hard disk is generated:

Error: Spin Up Time has reached its threshold. Current value is 11 and threshold is 21.
According to S.M.A.R.T. specifications, your hard disk is failing and needs to be immediately replaced. Backup your data as soon as possible.

Warning: Spin Up Time reached, in the past, its threshold. Worst value is 11 and threshold is 21.
Your hard disk is now being compared to real data used to define normal values for your specific hard disk model. This way, the analysis can automatically use proper operating ranges. The images give you an idea of how each attribute is within such range. Current and raw values are shown for easier reference for experienced users. There are 2300 hard disk models in the current archive.

I want to know if this is a sign of imminent death of the hard drive. Thanks to everyone in advance

This is not a good sign. Most likely it will die soon.
Back up your data.
