My WD Blue is a bit slow but has treated me well through the years.

I have a 6 year old WD black 500GB running fine, did you buy a Blue or Black model? If you're trying to run your Drive 24/7 a WD blue won't cut it

WD fails more than gook brands, but only 1 bad sector doesn't mean anything. I'd be more worried about why your disk doesn't have spare sectors at all; maybe stop buying bottom shelf models?
>look at my baby shit
Is fine too, those 1334 sectors are literally nothing. I have a Hitachi that came with 350,000 bad sectors out of the box; it's just normal that sometimes they have a few damaged sectors from manufacturing. The spare space got rid of it and the disk now has over 55,000 hours; I have also overwritten it to wipe data at least a dozen times and it's still working 100% fine.

That is not normal. You bought a heavily damaged drive.

Why is my power on count so high comparatively?
Blake Brooks
Because you toggle your HDD on/off after every 2-3 hours?
Carson Sullivan
Actually, that's about right now that I think of it.
