Hello everyone, I have an HDD which recently I noticed there was a bad block (I saw that on event viewer). That same day I run an error check, and the bad sector was fixed. A few days later, I checked the event viewer again, and there is a bad block again! So I did the same, and the bad block was gone again. Today I checked my event viewer, here it is again, a bad block on my hdd. Is my HDD dying?

Hi,

I would immediately suggest you to back up your necessary files/data from that drive before it goes down to permanent failure. You can use tools like Seatools or WD Lifeguard Diagnostics to determine errors and the health status of your drive.
