^^ to be sure scan your HDD with Seagate Seatools :
| Seagate
checked with seatools getting bad sectors in that as well...
can i used this hdd or not?
if the numbers of bad sectors is increasing then you need to RMA the HDD but if the raed/write speed and performance of the HDD is OK, seatools is not showing you any SMART errors and there's only a few bad sectors then they can be fixed using the seatools app and you can use the HDD without any issue.
+also keep an HDD monitor tool installed which will monitor the HDD health..
now i am trying to repair bad sectors with hdd regenerator
till now more than 400bad sectors found and repaired
still processing
After a detailed scan Seatools will offer you to fix the bad sectors which do it very well - I recommend to use seatools other than any third party HDD tool for repairing bad sectors but if seatools finds more than 400 bad sectors it's time for RMA the drive.
