should i be concerned about this? i was going to benchmark my hard drives to see what read and write speeds i was getting, but i downloaded CrystalDiskInfo by mistake, but it seems that CrystalDiskInfo is saying that one of my disks has "Caution".

is this bad? ive been checking it regularly, but nothing has seemed to change from 100.

Thanks.

Hey there, @MaxTehLegend!

I'd backup any important data from the HDD and make sure it's safe and sound copied to another hard drive/storage device. The Raw values indicate the state of the hard drive, as @Emerald mentioned, and they are listed in the last column. Unfortunately, you cannot fix bad sectors and once this parameter starts degrading, it means that things will only get worse with time. The best thing you can do is check the warranty on the drive (since it's not even a year old) and then contact the manufacturer's customer support for assistance. If it's still covered, you should be able to RMA it and get a replacement from them.

Best of luck! Hope this helps.
