[SOLVED] Should I be concerned?

[Sandy Sheikh]

My new Seagate 4TB [ST4000DM004-2CV104] drive is just 1 day old (not even a full day). So yesterday CrystalDiskInfo showed the status 'Good' but today it showed 'Caution' with reallocated sectors count being '56' as raw values at 10 [DEC].

Contact Seagate and be prepared to send it back for a new one.

I certainly wouldn't struggle on with a brand new drive in that condition.

Sure thing. Actually I bought it from Amazon and this is the second one after replacement. The first one completely failed the Long Generic Test in SeaTools. Not to mention the packaging was horrible in both.

From Sold and Shipped from Amazon, or a 3rd party seller in the Amazon Marketplace?

I'm guessing a 3rd party seller. Amazon has been packing them decently the past few times I've ordered.
