Question CrystalDiskInfo shows "Health Status: Caution" ?

[smalltech]

Hi,

I have an internal 3.5 inch hard disk that I store data (e.g. txt, xlsx, mp4...) files only, no OS (no Windows, not C drive)

I use crystaldiskinfo and it shows Health Status: Caution, C5 Current Pending Sector Count

Q1. What does it mean and what should I do to solve the problem?
Q2. How long will my hard disk last from now?
Q3. What disk do you recommend me to change to? I think I want to change to a 6TB or 8TB internal 3.5 inch WD Blue hard disk, is it ok?
Q4. How to transfer data from old hard disk to new hard disk? Would a normal copy (from old hard disk) and paste (to new hard disk) work?

Thanks

I Use Disk Management. Right click on partition E: and choose Extend Volume. Then a Extend Volume Wizard popup box appears.

I am following this video 5:03min to do the Extend Volume Wizard

I am at this screenshot below now. Should I click Next on this screenshot without changing any values (leave all as default)?

Yes.
It's Next/Next/Finish.
And done.

Thank you. Solved my problems. Greatly appreciated.

One more question:
In the past I have done macrium full backup and incremental backup for C drive (windows) and D drive (data files). Now I have restored the D drive (of the old D drive hard disk most recent incremental backup) to a new hard disk and the D drive now is the new hard disk, nothing changes except the old hard disk of the old D drive is 4TB (disk has been removed), the new hard disk of the new D drive is 8TB (8TB new disk replaced into the position of the 4TB old disk).
Will I need to redo a new macrium full backup and incremental backup from now onwards?

Yes.
Start your Macrium sequence again, with an initial Full Image.
