need advice...
i have 2 hdds. they both show some problems when i use Acronis Drive Monitor. but when i test with SeaTools For Windows, the hdds pass all the tests. which one to believe?

for acronis i didnt change any settings.

the problem shown on acronis:

drive c Seagate ST3200822A capacity 200GB
Reallocated Sectors Count raw value 11, value 100, threshold 36, status Critical

Reallocated Sectors count S.M.A.R.T. attribute reported bad block on the drive. Increasing number of bad blocks may be an indicator of imminent drive failure. In this case frequent backup and hardware replacement is recommended.
