You may as well put it in the bin anyway.

Not yet, but you have to act fast. Go buy a new 2 TB hard drive, then clone the failing disk onto it. Don't use the old disk ever again. Problem solved.
Afterwards, BACKUP YOUR STUFF!

Are you me?
> I have the same error and exact numbers as you on "realocated sectors" shit.
>>58368650
I had the same exact thing few months back. The next day it started shutting down randomly. Luckily it contained only non-essential stuff because getting stuff out of it was almost impossible
>>58368985
FUCK
>>58368943
Since when!
I've had a similar problem for over two years, I'm convinced it's a false positive. Still, I have all important files moved over to the better drive and I use the HDD for vidya, movies, and other crap I'm okay with losing.
I do bi-monthly backups.

OP here, maybe but my HDD head make a lot of noise ('click click click click' since 3 day), also you have a WD.
>>58369508
Clicking? yeah back it up now. That's not good. I think mine is a false positive since it's been running fine for along time.
How do i fix mine?
98% of hard drive problems can be solved with spinrite
buy spinrite
>hurr seagate is bad
got a bunch of seagate drives ranging from 3GB IDE to 2TB SATA
a few of the old ones might have a few reallocated sectors from using a dodgy IDE tape but all still work fine
>>58370689
plug it into a SATA bus rated for 6.0 Gbit/s
>>58368650
I have an HDD with 1300 relocated sectors, I still using it for torrent and seeding my Japanese cartoons everyday. Not important data though.
I'd recommend you to keep/make backups regularly and keep a eye on it for some time.
>>58371612
does it even matter for a hdd?
>>58368650
Could've been a one-time thing (speck of dust). This one has been running for over a year in caution status and the number of bad sectors is actually going down.
>>58371866
No. SATA 2 can do 300MB/s. The fastest 7200rpm hard drive is a hair over 200MB (I think the 1TB/platter Seagates are still the fastest). I don't think a Velociraptor has been released since 2012, and those were ~200MB/s too.
