Hey guys was using Crystaldiskinfo and I got this: Uncorretable Sector Count: the value is 1
and then current pending sector count is 1 aswell, should I be worried? Is this dangerous? Or I'm fine for now? Thx

The drive has found a bad sector which it could not recover the data from. your drive may fail tomorrow or in 3 years. Since thats the case, even with new drives, thats why we always tell people to always backup their important files.

Your drive is just beginning to show you problems. keep backing up important files. make sure you had made your restore/recovery disks, and keep en eye on it. if it gets more then its time to look for a new drive or warranty this one.
