Is my drive dead

[0100001001000010]

My computer crashed and now I can't boot my operating systems. GRUB is having trouble reading some kernels, and other kernels can't find my rootfs. Reinstalling grub and the affected kernels does not help. SMART data looked normal except for the following:

Bad sectors: 11 (up from 2 the last time I checked)

Sectors pending reallocation: 6 (up from 0)

Uncorrectable errors: 23 (up from 0)

Emergency head retracts: about 30000000 (up from about 25000000)

 

Dell's preboot diagnostics gave me 2000-0142 (hard drive error) and 2000-0146 (hard drive error) (thanks for the helpful messages, Dell).

 

However, I can still read the data on the drive if I boot a recovery environment from a USB flash drive, and the drive sounds normal, which makes me think its still good. So is my drive dying or not?

Does having any of those at all indicate that my drive is bad, or is there some amount of those that my drive is allowed to have?

once you have any of them, you're usually on borrowed time, backup, backup, backup...…..and replace the drive ASAP

I have a backup, and I'm shopping for an SSD right now.
