August 8, 20214 yr 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
August 8, 20214 yr 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

August 8, 20214 yr 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

August 8, 20214 yr Author In general, if the Number of Reallocated Logical Sectors is under 500, should we start replacing? If it isn't increasing that is.
August 8, 20214 yr Community Expert 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.
