WD Ezex 1tb Blue - New, Second HDD
WD Ears 1tb Green - Old, First HDD which is failing
Hi,
I just bought a WD10EZEX drive and put it as my 2nd HDD in my desktop.
Crystal Disk info shows Reallocated Sector count as 121 and as a result caution status.
Initially, before I did anything(just plugged in it, not even formatted, it was unassigned) with the new disk, crystal disk info showed zero for the reallocated sector count. Then I wrote all zeroes using WD DLG. And then tried to clone my first HDD(my first HDD is failing) into the new one using True image. The cloning showed some error regarding reading from bad sector. I cancelled the cloning without ignoring the error. After I booted up using the first HDD as primary, crystal disk info showed the 121 reallocation sector count for the new Ezex second HDD, that I specified at the start..
Should I RMA it back?
