Hard Drive Failure Imminent?

[steve10765]

Hello, every 6 months or so I run a Crystal Disk Info scan on my HDD's. Crystal Disk status showed drive health "Caution - pending sector count =1" After running Command chkdsk r/ on windows 10 to fix/repair errors and bad sectors, drive health seems to be showing worse values. Although I've done some reading y'all can interpret these values much better than I can. Is my hard drive okay? Starting it's decline? On it's last leg? I'm aware they are hard to gauge.

CMD results after Windows HDD repair attempt.

Thank you.

Did you use /f command?

Did you use /f command?

Yup,
"If you want chkdsk to scan for bad sectors as well, you'll use the /r switch. When you use the /r switch, the /f switch is implied, meaning that chkdsk will scan for both logical errors and bad sectors."

And after that did you run it again to see if files are still in bad sectors?

Are you saying I should run chkdsk again?

Yea. See if anything changed after trying the repair.
