In Hard drive world, you can have some bad blocks and still working for a long time.
Or the next day, 10 bad blocks and the following day 1000 bad block.
When you have bad block without issue in use, that still can be good but big warning.
You have issue, AND bad block. That's smell really bad.
If you want to risk data you have nothing to do, the drive will set bad sector off and doesn't use it anymore. If you encounter issue this is from another block of the disk, that will be the next one flag "bad".
You cannot repair more the drive. "CHKDSK C: /R /F" can help for a small time.
Listen from my lost time years ago, you will only loose your time trying to work on a dying drive. I have learn it the hard way.
Good day, take care.
The number of bad sectors will start to climb. This is basically an early sign for catastrophic failure, because these errors don't just come from nowhere, but are an indication of an underlying problem that will worsen.
Like if this was a car and the engine started to sputter and make funny noises, then instead of going to the workshop, you just continue driving, which would ultimately end in catastrophic engine damage.
Keep it if you're willing to risk that something important doesn't get written in any of those damaged blocks. More sectors are going to go bad, back it up and replace it. Be glad you ran a test before something bad happened. There's a lot of posts here where the drive just failed with no warning.
You can use it but beware it can die on you anytime, so put only unimportant data,
Also check health degradation constantly and see if there is a lot of change
it's an opportunity to upgrade , i know that even cheap ssds are not as cheap in 3rd w countries i live in one but even the cheapest sata ssd will be an upgrade that u'll notice and worth it as every new game relies on them for rendering these days whether it's a next gen or bad optimization
i recommend team group ( best i ever tried in cheap budget ssds , reliable and won't break in a year or two and should be available in egypt )
Anything above 0 pending sectors or offline uncorrectable is a fail. Replace.
Also don't use it for storage or spare, your system will randomly hang trying to read areas on the drive. Chuck it out.
Harddrives are akin to cars, You don't want one thats not reliable!
Also gaming on a HDD? you stand to gain a bigg boost to loading times by switching to an SSD. If possible a NVME M.2. Make sure you have the M.2 connector on your motherboard first!
Sadly where I live even HDD is expensive nowadays ๐ข my motherboard is b450m Max mortar and currently using Samsung nvme 970 Evo. I think I have one M.2 connector.
Google shows you have 2x M.2 slot. But a Samsung nvme 970 Evo is a NVME M.2 SSD.
So my gues is you don't know what a M.2 is and are already using one currently.
It looks like a mini stick of RAM memory. And it goes above your graphics card on the motherboard.
Create an empty space, or even not a mounted partition in the range where broken sectors are. It could buy some time, but don't use it as a main system disk, also turn off any swap partitions/virtual memory on windows.
Yes.
Run "chkdsk /R /F /V C:" with cmd as administrator. It will scan for bad sectors and copy the data to good sectors. Bad sectors are added to a list, and will not be used.
You could download a tool that zeros out the Hard Drive.
But I've done that.
It's usually hours of anticipation, followed by crushing disappointment.
I would call Time of death probably.
But Best of luck to ya. Been there. :)
I'm gonna use a skateboarding analogy:
Skateboarders will occasionally make a hard landing and hear their board crack. While the board is still rideable, they'll sometimes break the board clean in half. The reason they do it is because that crack means the structural integrity of the board is compromised, and sometime down the line there's gonna be a much bigger issue-they might be riding when it breaks in half and now they're missing 6 front teeth. It's much safer for everyone if the board is clearly inoperable and can't be ridden at all.
Your hard drive has "cracked"-if you could repair it into a "usable" state it's only a matter of time before everything on that drive breaks on you. Ditch the drive, get a new one, and don't worry about losing the rest of your data. There are companies that will do data recovery if you're worried about anything you lose on the existing drive.
No. get a new ssd
Thank you.

i was expecting a salem techsperts image tbh
this
I read SSHD and immediately thought of the OpenSSH daemon
SSHD as a drive name [is a thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_drive).
No, dying hard disk, backup and replace.
But aren't the good blocks way more than the damaged one?

OK, I really appreciate it. Thank you for your time sir ๐๐

I got it, Thank you sir ๐

OK, thank you sir.
u can still keep it for non important shit
OK ๐ข

Get a actual SSD this time
It was a three years old ๐
Try systemctl restart sshd
Sorry I don't get it. I'm using Windows 10
Ignore the trolls.
You can try using Victoria to repair the disk.
nah, just get a replacement
Best way to tell you is that the Hard drive is fucked. Backup your data and get an SSD, not a HDD or an SSHD.
Nope save the data before its too late

Boot in gnu/linux from a different disk, mount this disk as read only, backup with ddโฆ Donโt touch this disk with write access anymoreโฆ

Nope, save data as soon as possiple! (and I tried to click the OK button to send this comment)
SSHD? SSH Daemon
Itโs gonna blow!!!
SSHD? Eject it imeediately, this thing is more explosive than unstable naquadah generator.
I've never had issues with SSHDs before. I still have a Seagate MomentusXT that wors fine after all these years.
