Even if "repaired", a drive like that could not be trusted.
This is not true at least for some models of Seagate.
The OP didn't give any information about his drive - model, SMART, etc. and you put a verdict. Why?
OP didn´t say he ran the Long Test, neither if he tried the offers of Seatools to fix the drive.
Based on the little information provided, I estimate OP doesn´t have that much experience and knowledge with hdds.
If someone answer that the drive can be fixed, then it invokes a horde of users trying to fix their Seagate DM´s, and later crying and throwing blame when the precious files they stored in that "fixed" drive were lost for good.
