lmao, no one knows. We dont have a crystall ball here. Back it up and you dont need to worry

Sounds good. I have backblaze so I guess if the HDD goes wonky I have a copy. I might just be proactive and get a replacement soon

Hdd don’t lose data immediately, he does it gradually.

It can fail today, it can fail next year. Backup your data and replace it

Sounds good, I didn’t know if it was more urgent, but better to be proactive

It will fail tomorrow. I called it and it told me it’s fucking out of there.

I had a similar disk with "Pending Sectors" Any file that is written to those sectors will be damaged and cannot be read again. I used a program called "RepartitionBadDrive" This program will find those sectors and create a partition on the disk without access letter, so you can continue using the rest of the disk. (This program will erase all the content on the disk) Maybe if you manually set a letter to that partition and fill it up and try to copy the files several times, those sectors could become REALLOCATED and you could use the entire disk again.

It's impossible to say, I've had drives from the 1980s with bad sectors spin up and work just a few months ago.

Many drives from the 80s had bad sectors from the factory, that was just part of how the platters were made back then.

It may die any moment. Back up everything that's important & swap it for a healthy one.

Back up your data and replace the drive *now*.

Soon. Replace immediately.

Nobody knows. It can die tomorrow, or run for the next 10 years without issues.
