Crystal Disk Info "Caution" Pending sector 1160

[jadan1clemens]

I used crystal disk info and it says current pending sector szie is at 1160. the drive seems to be working normally and I haven't had a issue with the drive I do have everything backed up always incase of something likes this happens. how long do I have or is this something that can be fixed without replacing the whole drive.

That does not necessarily means that there is a problem with the disk. The disk just has not relocated the sectors displayed.
Download, run HDTune and scan the drive. It will show if you really have bad sectors.

There is no "how long".
Might be 5 minutes, might be 5 months, might be 5 years.
ALL drives are suspect, right out of the box.

Backup backup backup.
