I checked one of my hard disk using HD Tune and I am getting Health Status as Warning

Here is the screenshot :

I would suggest you to backup all important files. Even if you RMA you might not get replacement. If its in warranty I would say to RMA. Just give them screenshot. And if they find fault imo you should get replacement :wink:

Do an error check, and check for bad sectors.

even I'm facing such error but I never completely rely on apps like this - used seagate seatols dos version and it showed no error message after performing a long test - so do a long test with seatools.
