My HDD failing on Reallocated Sectors Count when I see it on SMART, what will happen? Will my HDD suddenly died or having bad sector? If it's just will have bad sector, I will keep using it because when it happen, I still can retrieve the data. This HDD will be for Anime, so lossing a few anime is okay, I just don't want it to just dead.
HDD SMART Failing, Reallocated Sectors Count

Reallocated sectors are an indication that the drive is failing. It's impossible to say how long it will be before it totally fails but it's not going to get any better. You might lose a few sectors each day or it may completely crash tomorrow.
The drive's viability also depends on exactly which sectors are lost. If the lost sectors are in the file index it won't lose the specific files but you won't be able to access them and a corrupted index may not be recoverable.
