Hey there, dog___day305.

First, if your drive is still under warranty, I'd suggest that you remove the serial number from your post for security reasons. As for the HDD itself. What made you check it out? Do you get any errors or unusual transfer speed or anything at all? It seems like you have some bad sectors. Do you get a warning sign on the test results for
197 Current Pending Errors Count 100 100 0000000000-0010 000

198 Uncorrectable Errors Count 100 100 0000000000-0010 000

Backup and important data which you might have on that drive, just to be on the safe side and download the manufacturer's diagnostics tool to double-check the drive, just to make sure that this is the case.

Please let me know how everything goes.
