WD HDD SMART Error

[mmarekk17]

Hello, my Western Digtal HDD used just as a storage, started to show SMART error when starting or restarting PC. However I am still able to get to windows (have to go through bios though). I tried almost everything. I backed up my data, formatted the HDD, defragmented, used some EaseUs tool and also ran "chkdsk /r /f ". Here is result:

 

 

C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /r /f D:

Then I downloaded WD Diagnostic Tool. I attach a screenshot from it here.

 

Is this failure repairable?

No, that SMART attribute is usually one of the first indicators a drive is going bad. Something is wrong on one of the platters that makes a section of it unwritable/unreadable, and that problem can spread.

Ok, thank you for response.
But I find it absurd, that because of 96 KB in bad sectors I have to throw away 1TB HDD. Is there higher possibility that this amount of KBs will spread while using it , when you compare it to functional HDD?
