Question HDD Experts and Enthusiasts, would you mind?

[SR AA]

Hello,

I have a feeling that my internal desktop storage HDD is agonizing.
Would you mind giving your thoughts about the CrystalDiskInfo report I've attached? DEC Raw Values, btw.

FYI: I already have 3 x backups, so chill

Thank you!

Start thinking about retiring the drive or use it for non-critical roles.

Use it until it dies.
Recover from your backup.

Yes, I'm doing my research already if I'll move to a SATA SSD double the price or get a new HDD.
I still couldn't understand if these bad blocks can be "fixed" (ignored I mean).

Yes, that's my actual situation, TBH.
I tried CHKDSK but after the long run it just partially recover the corrupted file and keep those 2 yellow flags on.

If it already has "corrupted files", send it to the Recycle Bin in the sky.
It is done.

I have working drives twice that old.
I have dead drives 1/10th that old.

The Reported Uncorrectable Errors attribute is a big worry. I wouldn't trust that drive with my data.

 

[SR AA]

Would you suggest a way to isolate the bad blocks, so I don't get my files corrupted by the same sectors again? I do have periodic backup, so don't worry about it.

I mainly use my HDD to hold VHDX drives, is it an issue?

 

[fzabkar]

I don't know of any software that can identify those bad sectors. The drive does maintain a log that can be accessed by a tool such as GSmartControl, but I don't think this log is large enough to accommodate all the uncorrectables.
