Hey everyone! I just installed CrystalDiskInfo to check the health of my hard drive, and I noticed a warning. The reallocated sector count is at 96, with the current and worst values both showing as 100 and a threshold of 36. I'm worried about what this means for my HDD. Do you think I need to replace it, or is there any way to fix this issue?

Yeah, definitely check the raw value! As long as it's not climbing fast, you might be okay. Just be sure to back up your data regularly, just in case something goes south.
First off, don't panic! You should check the "raw value" of the reallocated sector count, as that gives a better insight. It shows as 60, which isn't too high, but keep an eye on it. If it starts increasing rapidly, that's when you should consider a replacement.
