jang430 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Whenever possible, I'd like to put off that replacement for another time, since HDDs are so expensive now. tower-smart-20210808-1723.zip tower-diagnostics-20210808-1726.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct PO--CK 100 100 010 - 2608 Personally I wouldn't hold off. 2600+ reallocated sectors is way above my comfort level. With that many already, there's a very good chance that they're just going to continue to snowball Quote Link to comment

In the meantime, I will be looking to buy HDD already.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Besides, doesn't that drive come with a 5 year warranty? The power on hours indicates that it's only been on for just over 2 years Quote Link to comment

jang430 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 In general, if the Number of Reallocated Logical Sectors is under 500, should we start replacing? If it isn't increasing that is. Quote Link to comment
Michael_P Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 In general, any reallocated sectors indicates problems with the disk. Your level of risk tolerance is the only deciding factor, personally for me - 1 is enough to RMA. Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 noted, I'd do that as well if I can RMA Quote Link to comment
