[QUOTE="LabZero, post: 422609"] The reallocated sectors count (05) indicates the number of disk sectors that have been reallocated due to various problems (C5 pending sectors). Basically, when a hard drive detects an error in reading, writing or check at any given point on the surface of the plates, make these areas as "reallocated sectors", and transfers the data contained in them in special areas (which are the "spare"). It follows that in all modern disks is unable to locate bad sectors following a superficial analysis since they are all automatically reallocated, showing a seemingly intact. However, we must also consider that this process involves a performance penalty because of the swap, which heads must move continuously from defective sectors in the areas of backup, which is why it is preferable to work with discs with low rate of reallocated sectors. Everything still warns wear status and indicates that the hard drive is deteriorating [B](it would be better to replace it, if you do not want to run the risk of losing important data).[/B] [/QUOTE]
