HDD hard drive uncorrectable sector?
I recently bought the hard drive used on eBay. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that there was one uncorrectable sector and five currently pending sectors (but I was able to fix these using WD software, as shown in the picture). Since I'm new to the drive, there's no data on it yet. I had planned to use it exclusively for gaming storage.
Is the one uncorrectable sector a problem? Would you still use the hard drive for game storage? Is it possible to repair the uncorrectable sector, and if so, how and with which software?
I appreciate any serious response.

As long as the number does not increase constantly, this is not bad – the fault management of the plate ensures that they are no longer used and replaces them against sectors that have been kept in reserve.
If, however, there is a steady increase in the number, this is a sign that the plate is somewhat different from that of the sector. For example, worn bearings, or play in positioning, or non-homogeneous substrate.
chkdsk /? run ?! can’t hurt or? how expensive was the plate because backup with ext. HDD would be recommended anyway 1 Tb costs nix more.
I don’t know what you’ve done with the record – most buyers are just interested in whether they might be able to reconstruct some private porn of the previous owner.
But no matter – I wouldn’t use them anymore.
Ne, that wasn’t my intention, actually I just wanted to use the HDD as a memory for PC games
I wouldn’t use it. Uncorrigible sector is not bad, you can’t fix it.
ok but does that mean that the hard drive might lose data or why would you not use the hard drive anymore?
You’re here:
I’d rather not use them anymore.
