Title.
I have a 1TB WD Blue HDD, with Windows 10 installed on one of the two partitions... I'm not very well-informed about hard drives, but I've kept CrystalDiskInfo installed along with WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for monitoring.
This HDD is almost only 2 years old, and a year ago I've done about 2 resets beore doing a clean install with the OS partition because the OS got corrupted once.
After those resets I haven't checked the HDD's health, but now, 3 months later after the clean install, I came upon this.
After an "extended test" with WD's DLDiag, which the drive failed, the reported uncorrectable errors count went up from 22 to 31.
The current pending sector count haven't changed in the last 2 weeks.
Right now I'm worried because I don't have a backup drive.
If it's failing like I think it is, how much time do I have? Is there anything I can do or fix in the moment?
My important files are in it, and I'm gonna start college in the next 2 months. (I have a laptop though, also comes with a 1TB drive.)
I have screenshots from other HDD tools as well, i'll link them if theyre needed.
Huge thanks in advance for the help.
