[imkinger]

anyway to fix this?

I would buy a new drive like now and start backing up. You don't wanna lose everything like linus.

I would immediately start backing up any data you need off that drive and order a new one asap. A low level format MAY help, but unlikely. Drives die after a while, some sooner than others. How old is it by the way?

If you have anything of real value get that stuff off. Like to one of your other HDD's I can see in the system. Things like this they could last a day or year.

An ssd will make the whole OS snappier so I would go for that.

Move all data and use the wd diag software from their website. Some manufacterers add the function to correct bad sectors and other minor problems. But just keep in mind that sometimes if the problem is too big it can make the drive unusable.

[imkinger]

Though 200 is the default value... did the raw value ever change?

idk im not experianced with HDD tuning

should I change it?

You'd try WD's utility, SMART values weren't the same for all drives, wouldn't be the first time of a misinterpretation of them.

Im doing the extanded diagnostics now,il check with you in like 2-5 hours untill I get all the information,also im helping my mom.
