I'm confused about this caution flag. What exactly does those numbers mean? I checked out my main hard drive in my desktop and it has 200 in both fields but it does not say caution.

The hard drive came out of my old build. It does have A LOT of usage on it... almost 29,000 hours. Is it going to fail soon?

That means there are two faulty sectors on the drive. Keep tabs on the number, failing dicsc usually acumulate a lot of them. It could last for a very long time still. As always, backups.

I was going to sell the drive to a friend, but I always do a scan with HD Tune and CrystalDiskInfo first. According to other post about the warning, 3 is very minimal.

I'd hate to sell it and it craps out after a few months

Can you post a shot of the entire window (shop out the serial number)?

As long as the number is steady it's fine. Probably. Backups!

Just a note, to change the number system in RAW values to decimal, click "Function" > "Advanced Feature" > "RAW values" > "10 [DEC]"

Here's the screenshot. The odd thing about the drive is sometimes it reverts back to RAW and I have to format it over again.

Is it possible to use Sea Tools from HBCD to correct the sector issue? Yesterday, the number was at 3. Now it climbed to 9

Wow! Thank you! Looks much better now... instead of some foreign alien language

So it loses its partitions as well? Then I definitely wouldn't trust it.

It's an external disk btw?

I could sense a failed seagate before I clicked

peche · Dec 5, 2016

that disk has like 3 and a half years of use or a little moar, so its better to replace it sir, there is no point trying to repair or fix it ..

Regards

It's worth a try. I'd do a full surface scan (Basic Tests > Long Test), followed by a full disk wipe (Advanced Features > Full Erase), followed by another full surface scan. Even if the drive passes these tests, though, I would only consider using it as a "scratch" drive (no important data stored on it). When the bad sector count starts creeping up, that's usually the sign of a failing drive.

No. Oddly enough it keeps the partitions (4 total— Two Windows partition and two Linux partitions). The largest Windows partition is the one with the issue.

It was my main drive on my old system. It worked perfectly, then I got a quad core system and put my old desktop in the closet... that was about a year ago

It means you'll need a new drive soon.

peche · Dec 6, 2016

never trust a drive that already have some warning or dead sector

I wont trust a drive with bad sectors ever. I wouldnt even buy one. You couldn't pay me enough to trust a software program that "fixes" them.
