Current Pending Sector Count


Recommended Posts

I recently had a hard drive, western digital purple 4TB, throw errors in my unraid array. I took it out and verified with CrystalDiskInfo. SMART status was caution and "Current Pending Sector Count" was highlight yellow. I thought the disk was bad so I began to wipe it. I securely wiped and noticed now that the drive is reporting as good. Its reported in CrystalDiskInfo as good as well as DiskCheckup from PassMark. I also did a short test and it was fine. Ran an extended test now and its good too.

 

Is the drive good or bad?
