[SOLVED] I have a 2TB HDD and CrystalDiskInfo flags it as Caution c5 count 8 and c6 count 8, does this mean I have to replace my hard drive and it's dying?

Also I get random blue screens with "critical_structure_corruption", can those 2 be related?

8 pending sectors - isn't too much.
Can be fixed with mhdd (scan with relocate on) or Victoria software.

But those Seagate DM001 drives have rather high failure rates.

Critical_structure_corruption BSODs and pending sectors on secondary drive are not necessary related.
Check suggestions here:

thanks for a quick answer but 8 pending sectors are not what I'm worried about, after googling the [C6] Uncorrectable Sector Count: 8 seems to be more serious of a concern.
