Reallocated sector count warning in HDD?

[iFaymous]

I am using HD Tune Pro to monitor my HDD and I have noticed this.

Should I be worried and buy a new HDD?

try defragmenting the drive, if the same warning is still there then take backup of your drive and replace it with a new one

Thanks for the quick reply. I actually just defragged it in the last 24 hours so there is definitely something wrong with it. I was having problems writing video files to the disk too.

Hello there, iFaymous!

I'm sorry to see this SMART result of your WD Green drive! It seems like it is failing and has bad sectors! I'd strongly recommend backing up the data from it ASAP! Make sure it is safe somewhere else on another drive/device.
Afterwards, I'd suggest you to check your warranty here: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=8ChmKH
If the WD Green is still covered, you should get in touch with our technical support and RMA your product to get a replacement.
