[SOLVED] Caution [C5] Current Sector Pending Count: 1

[lucasjersey1]

Hello,

Can someone please help me, I'm not sure about what this means or what is wrong with my hard drive. The software I'm using to identify this issue is called CrystalDiskInfo and I'm on version 8.0.0 x64. It is for my 1TB Western Digital hard drive which i've had this computer and hard drive for 1 and a half year. Please help!

First save important data.
Do disk defrag , reset PC, then check again.

The drive has one unreadable sector which is waiting to be replaced with a good spare. I wouldn't be too concerned just yet. Keep an eye on this attribute and the Reallocated Sector Count. If these attributes begin to increase, then consider retiring the drive, or using it for less critical data.

I've done a disk defrag and restarted the computer, it's still there.

Okay, thanks. How long do I have to wait?
