Hello,
I encountered a few times a "beep"/"click" sound of my HDD (ST2000DM008, 2 years old) while playing games, probably read/write head was skipping bad sectors at that moment (I'm not an expert). I tried SeaTools, but both Fix All Long and Generic Long failed. Then I checked CrystalDiskInfo and HDD Tune and the status was good (without error) but with 0.6% of bad sector. If SeaTools failed it, could checkdisk help or not? I have only games there so I was thinking about keeping it till it dies, but I wanted to know, if it's somehow possible to relocate bad sectors in its current form (when SeaTools failed).
