Hello,

I had this problem before on my E: drive(also with 200 pending sectors) and i thought i fixed it, guess i was wrong.
I now have 200 pending sectors and i have no idea as to what i need to do. there's a picture of my E status included
i used wd data diagnostics and it was unable to repair the bad sectors

i7 2600K
16gb corsair 1600mHz ram
amd catalyst version 16.3.2
MOBO MSI P67A-GD80 (MS-7672) version 2.0 and serialnumber "To be filled by O.E.M."

Kind regards,

Hi there funkeypim12,

That is really unpleasant. 🙁

My suggestion would be to back up the data stored on the drive. It seems that there is something wrong with it.
The weak/bad sectors are increasing. Furthermore, this read error rate could indicate some mechanical flaw.

Is the drive under warranty? In case it is, you can just contact the place you got it from or WD's Support and eventually RMA it: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=nUMeg0

Apart from all this, I believe it will not hurt to attach the drive with different SATA and power cables to another SATA port. Then, you can check whether you will get write errors again. (try this after all the data is backed up)

Let us know how this goes,

The raw data has jumped to 1B now. What is read error rate?
But i think its serious, i cant install games, they get a disk write error

well, i tried to write zeros to the disk, windows had to restart and checkdisk on bootup.
after all that i now cannot access my E: anymore, it is just one, i can see it in device manager and crystaldisk info says its drive 0, file explorer doesnt see it either.. fuck
atleast it was broken already.

okay, we coudnt find it anywhere in the BIOS but i have been able to format it again, and it is still going but i checked crystal diskinfo and the pending sectors is at 00000 raw data, the read error rate is at 4B7 though, it passes the test..
