My MacBook pro mid-2012 has been acting a little odd lately (freezing, losing track of files). I've run first aid in disk utility multiple times, but always get the same notes which suggests it doesn't fix them (see below). I've booted into recovery and disk utility tells me the hard disk is ok and still shows these same results. Are these results anything I should be worried about? Thanks!

    First Aid checks to see if your file system is good. An "exit code" of "0" means everything is good from that perspective. It doesn't check to see if your drive or related hardware is failing (like the SATA cable). What problems are you having exactly?

This output means that the filesystem check has not found any problems with the drive.

If you're worried about "Volume could not be unmounted", it just means that the file system is in use while you're checking it. It does not mean that anything is wrong with the drive or the file system.
