Reallocated sector count warning in HDD? (Current, Worst, Threshold, Data) Meaning

[mihaajlovic]

Hi guys, I searched the web about my problem, and I am sure that my hard is failing, but what do those counts mean, can you explain to me? How long does my HDD have before it collapses?

Here is the image from HD Tune Pro.

The image won't show when I upload but the yellow spots are:

Reallocated Sector Count - Current 55 - Worst 55 - Threshold 5 - Data 51189928
Reallocated Event Count - Current 74 - Worst 74 - Threshold 0 - Data 789
Current Pending Sector - Current 1 - Worst 1 - Threshold 0 - Data 3464

Thanks in advance!

Who knows how long, maybe never and maybe right now. Keep on checking and if any of those values goes up it would be good time to change. In any case, if you value your data, make and keep current a backup of them or whole disk.

I am right now making the backups to Google Drive and external hdd. I have some files that are corrupted. Do I have to delete them or can I recover them somehow? I will try checkdisk right now to see what is happening.

Corrupted files are difficult to recover, at best only parts of them which in most cases makes them useless. Make sure that checkdisk also checks for bad sectors. Once you make the backups, you may also want to do full format so OS would skip over them.
