When I ran CrystalDiskInfo it says caution and shows that I have 1928 reallocated sectors. Its just like 5 months old and just like 650 power on hours. What does this reallocated sectors means? Should I worry? When I fill the HDD to like a mere 60 to 65 percent it freezes sooo much. Its a 1 TB Toshiba MQ01ABD100
1928 Reallocated Sectors on 5 months old HDD in CrystalDiskInfo. Is this bad?

Reallocated sectors are when sectors have gone bad, so the data on those sectors is moved (remapped) to a reserved area.
If the reallocated sector count increases, it means more bad sectors have been found, this is a sign of a failing drive.
Take action immediately to avoid data loss (ie backup your data, then replace the drive).
As it's only 5 months old, contact the manufacturer for a possible warranty claim.
