Hard drive is on an imminent course of death

[TripppleB]

So my hard drive is dying I am pretty sure its going to die one day Ive been using it as a secondary hard drive to my system for all my games. I wanted to know if there was any way to kind of prolong the process or somehow repair all the bad sectors. I have not noticed any performance issues or any file loss so I'm not sure how to judge the situation.

I would replace it, you are going to lose data on it. If you have not already lost some. You may not even know you've lost something until you go to use it and find a file is corrupt.

I would recommend when you replace it, you replace it with a Black drive, the blue one's are cheaper for a reason.

Just WOW. I have never seen a drive with that many bad spots. Has it not triggered a s.m.a.r.t warning yet?

You can check the smart status in the same program under health or can also use CrystalDiskInfo.

As others say, it is time for a backup for sure.

Your pending sector count look to be quite high(looks like base 10, it would be worse if the program was showing hex, but the I think it is base10), I would guess if the drive gets to re-mapping those it will trigger a warning.

Closest thing I have in hours/brand and size(it is a 2.5 inch drive and bigger, but just to give an idea).
Do not mind the Gsense rate. It does not loud music, but has not had any issues aside of logging it. and the 28k load/unload is normal for some laptop drives.

I would recommend running the software from WDC(data lifeguard) to see what it has to say as well.
WARNING
DO NOT WRITE ZEROS TO A DRIVE IT WILL ERASE IT.
