Hello everyone,
I am currently using 1 TB WD Blue HDD. Yesterday, I ran CrystalDiskInfo to check my HDD status because my system suddenly runs slower than normal. The software reported that the HDD health is "Caution" and the (C5) Current Pending Sector Count was 43 and now it has been increased to 121 (currently increasing slowly as I type).
After looking for clues on google for this issue, I think my HDD either is failing or having bad sector. So which one is true? And in case I have to buy a new HDD, what software could help me to transfer data from my failing HDD (hopefully most of it) to the new one?
Thanks for reading.
