Is my hard drive walking the green mile?

Is my hard drive dying. I have included a screen-shot from the Crystal disk app. Any info or expertise would be very much appreciated.

Cheers.

Probably not, but running Seatools would be better; it should identify issues if any.

One relocated sector is not critical.
What about other S.M.A.R.T attributes? Current Pending sector - for example?

Does this help?

As long as you have a good backup plan and you aren't seeing any issues in performance then keep going until you do.
If you don't have backups, make them now.
If you are experiencing issues of any kind, slow response, crashes, etc. then don't mess around and replace the drive. Seatools will give you a better idea if it is failing (run the long test though) as the other poster mentioned.

Thanks for the advice amigo. I will run Sea-tools soon and back up important things! Happy Xmas!

The drive seems fine for its age ~ 8 years.
But you have to check regularly, if it develops any more relocated sectors.
If it does, then replacement of the drive will be required.
