Got a hard drive that fails Dell's built in test. See pic below...
Crystal Disc Info says caution due to current pending sector count (100).
Hitachi drive fitness test came across a bad sector and asked me if I wanted it to re write the sector. I said no because I think I should recover the data then error check it. After recovering the data should I find and repair bad sectors with an error check or should I go the drive fitness test route to just re write the bad sector? Once done is it possible that the drive is still good enough to continue using?
