Can Current Pending Sector Count be fixed permanently? (WD)
Hey. I could goto the WD forums but I trust this forum more
I am an intermediate user however not with hdds. I will write my scenario in note form to cut down on blabber.
- Random check on CrystalDisk revealed 1 Current Pending Sector Count on my 3 TB WD My Book External. Showed in HD Tune and WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics too.
- Ran error checking multiple times with all combination of ticks, following results each time:
- 1 CPSC showed on CrystalDisk, HD Tune and WD DLC, quick test passed on this.
- 1 CPSC showed on CrystalDisk, HD Tune and WD DLC, quick test failed, extended test failed (too many errors)
- Ran chkdsk /r in command prompt
- 1 CPSC showed on CrystalDisk and HD Tune. No errors on WD DLC and both tests passed.
- Zero wrote disk with HD Tune.
- No errors shown in CrystalDisk, HD Tune, or WD DLC. The quick test passed and I am currently doing an extended test. (Could not wait any longer to post here haha)
So thats where im at now. Does this disk appear to be fixed then? Or (newb theory) will this error show up again once my disk tries to write to that sector?
Don't want to use the disk again if its just a short matter of time.
Many Thanks in advance
