Hi everybody, I'm new to the board (and to hdd diagnostic in general)
Out of curiosity I installed crystal disk info, and found a "caution" label on a seagate 1TB drive.
First thing I backed up all the data, then run seatools Short Drive Self Test, which failed, with error "DBABDDEB"
After that I run hdtune long error scan, which found two red squares on the drive.
Yet HdTune considers the drive as healthy.

In my comprehension, all this means that there are 336 unrecoverable bad sectors on the drive. Is that a lot or not?
Should I try to fix/reallocate them (e.g. seatools FixAll procedure), or directly RMA it (the drive is still covered by warranty)?

Thank you, and sorry for the noob questions, I read a lot but couldn't make my mind up.

Seagate guys taking to many vacations and narcotics lately!

Real crap media quality (fresh from factory)and the coding standard is a big crapolata!

All went well until I plugged the drive in.

Thank you for your answers!
Before I bought them, I did some amount of research and found the 1TB version of this drive to be at least as reliable as other brands, it is even still suggested by reputable pc-parts reviewers, such as logicalincrements, damn!

Anyway I might have been wrong (I'm definitely no expert), but now I bought a few of those drives, it would be quite an expense for me to replace them all. So just let me ask if you were really serious in your suggestion Spildit.

Thanks again for your valuable suggestions!!

Questi hdd Seagate col codice DM fanno proprio cagarissimo, se li cambierai con qualcos'altro sarebbe meglio.
Un buon hdd che potresti acquistare è il WD10EZEX (WD da 1 TB con etichetta blu).

Ok I'll just accept the bitter reality, and start to migrate to another brand.

would this be a good drive: https://www.hgst.com/products/hard-driv ... ar-a7k2000 ?

Any other reliable brand aside from hitachi? When I used to build pcs, quite some years ago, the *names* I used to trust were maxtor, seagate, samsung & WD, nowadays with all these acquisitions thing looks way more confusing to me!

Thanks again for the time!!

lol k!
Thanks for all spildit
