If you don't care if it will fail suddenly, or want to just take a chance of it running fine till you toss the computer, then keep using it, if you want to take action before it fails, buy a new drive and use that. ![]() You can keep going around asking about the drive but the fact is simple, it's risky to use after you see these errors. I have seen brand new hard drives be bad when installed. ![]() But still, speccy states it as "Warning"Īge of the drive does not have much bearing on if/when it will fail (although there is some, some very in-depth tests show that a drive has the most chances to fail at 3 years). and could now be ran in Seatools for windows. before it cannot be run on Seatools for Windows for Long and Short tests. The first HDD, After the Seagate DOS test. (which my 1st HDD is much more newer than the 2nd HDD and the 2nd HDD Was More "used") i dont know why my 1st HDD Says warning and my 2nd Says its Good but i dont see much difference on the S.M.A.R.T Attributes. The other HDD is also seagate, this is where all of my backups are stored. They will eventually continue to appear until the HDD fails. Keep in mind that bad sectors can't really be repaired(unless they are software/logical ones). That means that it could degrade really fast or, on the other hand, work for years. It seems that there are some bad sectors on it. If it is not, you can use it but just don't store crucial data on it as hang-the-9 mentioned. ![]() In case the drive is under warranty, you can just RMA it.
