Do I need to Worry

[Kartik Chopra]

Hello,

I ran HD Sentinel on my PC, and the results are in the picture.

Do I need to Worry with the current state of the hard disk. I used to check before and the state used to be perfect (100%).

The HDD is run Everyday, copying at least 2 GB of data everyday and deleting around the same Everyday. That 4.65 TB Lifetime Writes Seem Legit, seeing that the hard disk has been with me for only about 1-1.5 years.

Please Advise, also why does not the SMART Value reflect 16 bad errors?

Please Advise.

Well, IMO just from a fast look, you have VERY low space on that disk, and with the bad sectors it will become more and more of a problem. I would get a bigger disk to replace it right away personally, and use that disk only for unimportant data.

The Disk is a portable Disk and is solely used to transfer data from my university Library PC to my Laptop and Phone etc, that is why huge amounts of data are written and read off of the disk daily.

Also I have a backup disk (Disk 3 in the test) which is used as a backup of the disk (a clone/Mirror image), and data is backed up daily.

Hello Kartik Chopra,

 

Install SeaTools for Windows and check that the status is Ok for S.M.A.R.T. check: https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/

 

The sectors could be logical only and thus can be repaired, physical bad sectors cannot be recovered.
