I have a WD Caviar Blue 500gb. Since some time my PC has gotten slow.... Programs open slowly, close slowly, google chrome lags a lot . even task manager is slow now !!.
So, I ran some tests to check the HDD.
I tried WD lifeguard Diagnostics which failed. Here are the results :-
SMART Status is OK.
Test Option: EXTENDED TEST
Model Number: WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0
Unit Serial Number: WD-WMAYUS221377
Firmware Number: 15.01H15
Capacity: 500.11 GB
SMART Status: PASS
Test Result: FAIL
Test Error Code: 08-Unable to repair bad sectors.
Test Time: 23:13:49, November 03, 2014
Test Option: QUICK TEST
Model Number: WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0
Unit Serial Number: WD-WMAYUS221377
Firmware Number: 15.01H15
Capacity: 500.11 GB
SMART Status: PASS
Test Result: FAIL
Test Error Code: 06-Quick Test on drive 1 did not complete! Status code = 07 (Failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint = 97 (Unknown Test) SMART self-test did not complete on drive 1!
Test Time: 23:14:35, November 03, 2014
After that I ran seatools which failed as well in short test and long test both.
Then I tried HD Tune Pro.. Which shows 1 Bad block and here is the rest :-
I have also ran chkdsk /r. Took a lot of time.
HD Tune shows Reallocated Sector Count as 140. What does this mean ?
My Questions are :-
Is the Hard Disk going to die ?
Why has my PC gotten slow ? My Config is :-
AMD FX 6300
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB
Seasonic ECO 600
What should I do ? Replace the current one ( If its gonna die) ?
The Disk is not under warranty so no option of RMA.
I have been using this since 2.5 years.
The temps are fine.
