Seatools short test fail, long test repaired harddisk

[theusare]

Hi, I recently faced some problem with my hard drive (Seagate st2000dm001), thus decided to run seatools Dos on it. Initially short test failed. After which I ran long test, it took almost 5 hours and found 24 errors which were repaired by the seatools. After this I have run all seatools tests several times with no problem and they all pass. Is it right to assume the hard disk is safe to use or should I return the disk.
Any help will be really helpful as I am not sure what should be done in such case.

I think there's nothing wrong with the disk. You can keep it safely. No worry.

Backup everything ASAP and then Return the disk. You have bad sectors that were reallocated to an unused part of the disk. The data may or may not have been recovered 100%. Bad sectors also like to come in spurts. First you get a few, then a few more, then a few hundred...
