Hi, Today I saw "Caution" message in Crystal Disk Info. My Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3750330AS hard drive have reallocated sectors. It passed SeaTools for DOS Long test. Is this drive qualifies for warranty?

It has 1 reallocated sector.

I'm not surprised, based on that SMART data. Therefore...

... not in my experience of Seagate's warranty policy, no.

If it fails SeaTools, then you would get an error code which you could quote to Seagate as part of an RMA claim. That SMART data might indicate the start of the drive degrading - or it might not. IMHO at this stage it is inconclusive. Just make sure you have backups of the important data from the drive, and then a drive failure (if it happens) is more of a small inconvenience rather than a disaster :)
