Hi everyone! I'm in need of help based on my hard drive. I was download a torrent and got this "CRC" problem. I looked it up on google what it was and everyone was suggesting to do a checkdisc. I did that and it failed the first time (AFTER WAITING 20 HOURS). I then tried to redownload the torrent and see if the CRC problem still occurs, it does... SO I tried to delete the whole drive, then do a checkdisc. It took about 30+ hrs and it was download the torrent fine up till 25percent into the file. I then checked these forums for similar posts and found that SpeedFan will tell you what the problems are (I shouldve done this 2 days ago...)
My results from SpeedFan are below.
Your hard disk is a ST1500DL003-9VT16L with firmware CC32.
The average temperature for this hard disk model is 33°C (min=25°C max=42°C) and yours is 32°C.

Troubled attributes:
Attribute Reallocated Sector Count is failing now! Its current value is 35, the worst value was 35 and the threshold is 36. According to the manufacturer, this is a pre-failure condition.
SERIOUS ISSUE : your hard disk has 42816 reallocated sectors. Hard disks do have spare sectors (usually from 256 up to 2560) used to replace bad ones. This remapping operation is transparent to the end user. Anyway, this can lead to degraded performances (because remapped sectors are in different places of the disk than the original ones and the head needs additional moving). If reallocated sectors grow over time, you might encounter some serious troubles. A backup of the most important data is suggested anyway.
BLOCKING ISSUE : your hard disk has 21912 pending sectors (this value is very large and your hard disk should be replaced). Those are sectors that couldn't be properly read and that the hard disk logic is waiting for a write operation to try to remap to a spare sector (if available). According to the Reallocated Sector Count attribute, your hard disk seems to be either low or out of spare sectors. A simple disk surface scan won't be enough to force the remap operation. You need a read/write surface scan to remap the sector. The best option should be a tool that knows about what should be read from that sector so that it has some option to apply the best fix to the missing data.
BLOCKING ISSUE : your hard disk has 21912 offline uncorrectable sectors (this value is very large and your hard disk should be replaced). Those are sectors that an offline scanning found as unreadable. Offline scanning is a process that can be automatically started by the hard disk logic when a long enough idle period is detected or that can be forced by some tool. Those unreadable sectors are identified and the hard disk logic is waiting for a write command that will overwrite them to try to remap them to spare sectors (if available).

NOTE : your hard disk Power On Hours Count attribute current value (95) is below the normal range (97 - 100) reported for your specific hard disk model. Basically your hard disk was powered on for more than the maximum time the average user did. This means that either all of the reports collected are from hard disks that were not powered on for too long (this is realistic for recent models) or that your hard disk is becoming old. Usually this is not considered as a pre-failure advisory, but you should check whether you want to replace the hardware or keep an eye on its performances over time.
The overall fitness for this drive is 0%.
The overall performance for this drive is 79%.
I have no idea what this wall of text means, but based on the "0% fitness" and "your hard disk has 21912 offline uncorrectable sectors (this value is very large and your hard disk should be replaced" I get the feeling that I should just throw this *** away and give up LOL. I feel like a dumbass because I didnt just download a program to read my hard drive earlier... So now that I've used SpeedFan, I get these results, but not sure if I should just give up completely on this drive or try to fix it.... any help or suggestions is appreciated. THanks in advance.
