Reallocated sectors

[danco]

I Have an HDR-Fox T2 and use the customised firmware, and lately it is giving me warnings about reallocated sectors. Specifically, today it said

Overall Health: PASSED
Reallocated sectors: 5 (was 4)
Pending sectors: 0 (was 0)
Offline sectors: 0 (was 0)

The number has vret up from 0 over the past few weeks, increasing by 1 roughly every week.

The hard drive is 1000 Gb, and I have just over 100 Gb free.

Do I ned to be worried? If so, what should I do?

To quote from this site's wiki:

A small number of reallocated sectors are to be expected during the life of a disk, may occur at any time and do not necessarily indicate an impending failure. The thing that can indicate a problem is if the number of reallocated sectors suddenly increases significantly or increases steadily over the course of a few days.

In Webif, select Diagnostics and then click on the Disk Diagnostics icon, and you will see that for reallocation sectors that it still states that the amount of life left (i.e. its capacity to continue reallocating) is still at 100%.

The hard drive is 1000 Gb, and I have just over 100 Gb free.

Do I ned to be worried?

Not about the very small number of reallocated sectors, but at least some would think that your free space is a bit tight.

Also when was the last time that you ran fixdisk?
