It looks like a dying drive. RMA.

i cant RMA it buddy....any solution to fix this ???

kzx2050 :

Should still be under warranty.
But in any case, a dying drive never gets 'better'. And this looks to be a dying drive. The longer you use it, the worse it will get.

actually its from a company pc nad its not under warranty by WD and i have fixed drives by doing zero fill but why this error appears again??

The zero fill remapped the bad sectors but since your drive is failing you will get more bad sectors. If you have not already, back up your data.

hmmm i was actually thinking of buying a HD but confused between Seagate and WD??

kzx2050 :

Either. Just stay away from a WD Green, except for use as a general storage drive.

kzx2050 · Feb 13, 2014

what about this WD blue...2 have failed on me...

kzx2050 :

Generally, the Blues are pretty good. Standard desktop drives. No more or less reliable than anything else.

I would add to that - stay away from Seagate drives - - I had three fail in as many months. I've had four WD drives for 4 years and they are all still going strong. Enough said.
