Hi there ioneone,

That is unpleasant. :( It seems that the HDD has a bad sectors related problem.
The first thing you need to do is to just back up all the data stored on it as it could fail at any time.

I guess it will not hurt to write zeros on the drive and retest. In case you get similar results, just contact the laptop manufacturer in case it is under warranty.

You can write zeros with WD's DLG tool. You can test it with both short and extended tests as well.

Let me know how this goes,
