Hi
So, i have a new brand,1to WD blue hard drive,currently used for gaming and storage
that is giving me bad signs (sudden hangs up),tried with windows chkdsk nothing bad came up, switched for HD tune pro and he showed me an average of mostly 0.4 % for the bad sectors Image,the hard drive is still under warranty should i keep it or RMA it ?
Ps:
first disk scan showed 0.4% of bad sectors with at least 4 red squares this image is showing only 0.3% of damage i had to rescan the HD,first attempt failed,power went off !!! lool :pt1cable:

I just finished the WD's data lifegaurd test and the diagnosis failed see Image
but before that i opened the case to check the hard drive it self look what i found Rust!!! :ouch: see the red arrows on the right side ? didn't give it much attentation when i bought it the first time :fou:... a one month old HD with rust on it, this explains a lot ...thanks for your help much appreciated .
