It shows the reallocation sector alert.
Is that a sign that the HDD is going to fail?
Here`s the screenshot

thanks for the adviseReallocated = sectors on the drive have failed and the data was able to be moved to a spare sector.
Uncorrectible = failed sectors and data was not able to be rescued/moved.
If you have important data then you should always assume your drive is about to die and maintain a good backup strategy.
Right now you only have 3 sectors failed. In addition to backing up important data (or the whole drive for an easy restore to a new drive) just keep an eye on it and if it starts to increase then replace the drive.
