Nope, not yet anyway though it probably is time to start at least planning to replace the drive in the near future.

Are you talking KB or kb there is a difference. 

KB is KiloByte

kb is KiloBit

kb is 1/1000th of a KB

KB is 1/1000th of a MB (MegaByte)

MB is 1/1000th of a GB (GigaByte)

GB is 1/1000th of a TB (TeraByte)

 

But anyhow the drive is most likely fine for now. It is common to start having kb or KB fail in a HDD as it can be a sign of drive failure.

As @Master Disaster mentioned, you can plan on drive replacement down the road. Maybe 3-12 months or so. I personally have had bad sectors pop up as large as the MB size but the drive continued to last another 2years before the failure was enough to be concerning... that was one drive though.

Its also a good idea to not run tests on the drive too frequently as testing the drive puts quite a bit of strain on it and will exacerbate the issue.
