I have already done recovery with only 40 bad sectors (5 physical considering it is AF), but I wanted to find out if this reallocation count is real. It is based on the raw SMART value. This is from HDDSuperClone, so I trust the output. I myself have not seen a reallocation count that high with a drive that was still functional with a running OS.

I suspect that the raw SMART data consist of several components.

Reallocated Sectors Count 0x00000000280160 -> 0x28 / 0x0160
Current Pending Sectors 0x00000000000028

Reported Uncorrectable Errors 0x00193100641eba -> 0x1931 / 0x00641eba
Command Timeout 0x0000040035009c -> 0x0004 / 0x0035 / 0x009c
Power-Off Retract Cycles 0x000000018f018f -> 0x018f / 0x018f
Temperature 0x0000001424001f -> 0x14 / 0x24 / 0x001f

As I see it, the raw reallocated sector count is 0x160 (lower 16 bits). The upper 8/16 bits appears to be the pending sector count.

I could be wrong, though.

That makes sense, at least a lot more sense than 2 million reallocations :)

I might have misinterpreted this attribute:

Reported Uncorrectable Errors 0x00193100641eba -> 0x1931 / 0x00641eba

This might make more sense:

Reported Uncorrectable Errors 0x00193100641eba -> 0x1931 / 0x0064 / 0x1eba

Details, details...

FYI I am doing this for a friend who's mom recently passed, and they needed the password removed on a laptop. After noticing abnormal hard drive activity, I panicked when I checked the smart status. And now after cloning, it has spent some time finishing a windows update that was in process (I have not put it online so it must have already been in process). There is also still some crapware on it from a few popups I have seen. At least now I am not killing the drive. I might play with the failing drive later on to see if I can get the smart stats to change by writing to the bad sectors.
