hello, I'm getting a reallocated sector count and reallocated event count warning for my 4 year old Seagate 500GB HDD. Hd Sentails says Health is 12% and performance is 100% and HD tune says Reallocated Sector Current 98 , Worst 98 Threshold 36 data 736 Status Warning. Sometimes PC freezes and works normally.What do to do ?

Hi there sunny kiran,

Unfortunately, your HDD is failing and you will need to replace it as rkzhao suggested.
You need to back up the data stored on it ASAP. It seems that there are some bad sectors on the drive, which would continue to appear, until the drive becomes inaccessible. The thing is that this process can't be sopped or slowed down.

If you have no important data stored on the drive and if you are happy with the performance, you can continue using the drive until it fails.

Cheers,
