Should I get a new HDD? (kernel data inpage error)

[Nelson Gregorio]

I've been using an old(er) HDD to watch/store movies, play/store games, while the OS/programs run on a SSD.

Yesterday I had 2 bsod (KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7a))
Judging by the reallocated sector count, can I assume the hdd is dying and caused the 2 bsod?
Should I get a new one?
Should I look into other possible causes for the bsod?

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7a)
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in. Typically caused by
a bad block in the paging file or disk controller error. Also see
KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.
If the error status is 0xC000000E, 0xC000009C, 0xC000009D or 0xC0000185,
it means the disk subsystem has experienced a failure.
If the error status is 0xC000009A, then it means the request failed because
a filesystem failed to make forward progress.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff6fc80a22e08, lock type that was held (value 1,2,3, or PTE address)
Arg2: ffffffffc000000e, error status (normally i/o status code)
Arg3: 000000000f4c4880, current process (virtual address for lock type 3, or PTE)
Arg4: fffff901445c1390, virtual address that could not be in-paged (or PTE contents if arg1 is a PTE address)

Hey there, Nelson!

Unfortunately, it seems like your HDD is severely damaged. It's most probably the cause for the BSOD and the SMART data gives it away! If you can still access it, I strongly recommend to backup all the data from it ASAP!
After you have done this, check your warranty period and contact the HDD manufacturer's tech support and send an RMA request! You should be able to get a replacement.

Hope this helped! Good luck!

If there is important data on it I suggest either burning it to disk, or unplug and remove the drive now. Plug it back in once you have a new disk and copy it over. The longer you leave it spinning in your computer even when not accessing it, the more it will wear down.

Thank you for the answers.
I unpluged it as soon as I got the SMART data. Let's hope it lasts long enough for me to backup
