Hello

I just got a replacement hard disk drive from Seagate, I've installed it n to my Windows Home Server and added it to the storage area. However looking in Crystal Disk Info is says Caution - Reallocated Sectors Count

Should I be concerned is this another bad disk?

Thanks

I'd be concerned if the number of reallocated sectors increases on a regular basis, or if the drive has other performance issues, eg clicking, stalling, slow sectors.

Hi

Thanks for the reply, on that screen shot above under Raw Values it said 000000000001

This morning it says 000000000004

Current and worst are still at 100

Not sure what this increase means?

Sorry, I've been away from this forum for a while. Is the raw value still increasing?
