Hi there Wolvithe,

Unfortunately, it seems that your drive has some bad sectors. It has 8 bad sectors, that were already reallocated and 26 weak sectors.
You should really back up the data stored on the drive ASAP. The bad sectors will continue to increase, until the drive fails. It can happen in a day, or it could last for a year. You can't really know that.

If the drive is under warranty, you can RMA it. In case it is not, my suggestion would be to get a new drive and use this one for storing non important data.

Let me know in case you have some more questions,
D_Know_WD :)
