About 15 days ago I purchased a Lenovo Win 8 S210 IdeaPad from Newegg and upgraded it to 8.1 about 10 days ago. My Hard Disk Sentinel Pro showed a deterioration in health from 90% - about 65%- good to fair rating. It said 8 sectors were weak or bad and the disk tried to relocate data 59 times earlier. HD Tune Pro trial showed about the same thing.
I am wondering if I should RMA this for an exchange at Newegg, or is this a fairly common thing to happen to a hard drive. I don't want to have to wait until the drive dies and then hopefully return it under warranty.
