I'm using CrystalDiskInfo 7.1.1 on a laptop hard drive i've been experiencing issues and slowdowns with for a while now. CrystalDisk interprets the raw values of the SMART test and says that the drive has 153 reallocated sectors and is telling me that's bad. I've also heard other places that this is a sign of a possibly failing drive. I just need a second opinion on it.
 
Solution
Yup, it's dying. May be good for another 2 years, or die in the next 2 minutes. No timeline to say, but backup anything important and get a new drive.

Thanks for the quick response.
That's what I was thinking, i'm running an extended SMART test on it right now, I will look at the final results and probably replace it.
