HDD Failure?!

[Hypofely]

I have a WD Black 3TB drive now 1 week long and in that 1 week the health status is bad is it possible? I not even write data on it maybe a 100gb or something

RMA it and return it. That is really weird and scary.

EDIT: Try formatting it, did you drop it or shock it?

If I remember correctly, you can adjust the number of reallocated sectors by double clicking on it.

Hi there @Hypofely!

 

Try running a Data Lifeguard Diagnostics test on the drive and see if the software detects any bad sectors or errors. If you decide to go with an extended test, backup your data before doing so because if the program finds any problems with the drive it will try to fix them automatically.

Let me know how it went.

I just send it back already get the new one instead. Did a speed test as an external drive read:175.5 write:175.6 the other gave me around 80mb i thought becouse of the external drive so it was already bad when first time arrived... To be honest it was the worst packaging what I ever seen...
