Hi everyone
I have a problem that kept me anxious in the past few weeks
I have a 500 gb Western Digital Blue hard drive used for the OS, Some time ago, 2 pending sector count appeared and i looked in the internet about it and people said it will be remapped to another sector, windows 7 spits 2 error 7's (which report a bad block) with little difference in time (1-10 Seconds), when windows does that, the raw read error rate increases by 2 every time (Windows report the two error 7's at least once a week).
so the current pending sector count stayed like that for 2 months maybe.. on the fourth of may, the pending decreased from 2 to 1. on the fist of june, the offline uncorrectable increased by 2 and and the write error rate gone up to 1.
i think the read error rate increases every time it sees the same current pending sector count

hd sentinel says it's ok and report 97% health
Also something to note: every time i run error scan test in HD Tune and a red block appear, i stop the test and see that windows reported an error 7 and the raw read error rate increases by 1
people always say to replace the drive without explaining whats happening or if it is dangerous or not, i can't replace the drive at the mean time and it doesn't have alot of important data
please help and thanks in advance
