The important thing is to keep an eye on their health with testing them from time to time and have a back up of all the important data. When talking about mechanical drives, bad sectors could appear sooner or later, no matter if this is after writing zeros or not. It is not going to get better but only worse. Yeah, if zeroing or full format doesn't help and you get the same SMART results, it is rime for a new drive. Reallocated = bad sectors that were already reallocated. Those could be software ones and sometimes the writing zeros process could help. Hexadecimal to decimal conversion -> D34 = 3380Īlso, you need to look at pending/reallocated sectors. Both C and G don't have many bad sectors, but C has many read errors. I've heard a lot of people say zeroing their drive fixes errors and bad sectors for a while but them come back a little while later. Just for future referance and for the sake of good old education, how can you tell my G drive has bad sectors and what else should I lookout for/ know about to better diagnose my HDDs in the future?Īlso isn't it just safe to say once I get a bad sector its time to replace, if zeroing it doesnt fix anything. Might of been my C: drive giving what we know now about its health. I have been getting kernal blue screens I believe because of my G: drive. Thanks for getting back to me, I'll be getting a SSD to replace my C: drive. Hey D_Know_WD, I saw you around the forums and thought to myself you seem like just the guy I need! Yet, you need to keep in mind that the important data should be stored on at least two places. You can move the important data stored on the other two drives to it. Your H: drive seems to be in a healthy state. This is a data destructive process and you need to back up all the data stored on the drive. One thing you can try is to back up all the data stored on it, write zeros(fills in 0 value in each sector) and re-test. The drive could fail in a week or last for years. Yet, you can use it for storing non important data. Regarding your WD Blue(G, I would that that it may be a good idea not to keep crucial data stored on it. You need to back up the data stored on C: and replace. If someone could take a look at these pictures and give me your opinion, I'd greatly appreciate it! When playing games on my C: G: or H: drive I sometimes hear a beep then my PC freezes for a little bit before returning to normal. So I imagine its when the file is being finished up and wrote to my HDD that the HDD start to flip out. Then I get a BSOD a second or two after, sometimes followed by a beep sometimes not. I've tried switching up which HDD I record to/ record a game from and still get a BSOD normally when I hit "Record" on my recording program (Action Mirillis) or once I've been recording for an hour or so then hit "End recording". I'm normally running the game I'm recording off the G: drive also. I use my G: drive to record 1080p game footage to. I have been having BSOD for the past few weeks and suffered simlar issues with my HDDs a year ago but managed to make them behave until now. I have three HDDs two of which are "Caution" on CrystalDiskInfo (shown in the pictures below) just wondering if its worth trying to fix or should I just replace the HDDs?
