Hi guys, I just found my 3.5 2TB WD blue has 46 bad sectors.

1. Should I worry about it ? get a new hard disk and replace current faulty one?

2. And how you guys dispose faulty hard disk ? sell it or just throw to dustbin?

3. Which brand to get for 2TB? I am leaning toward Toshiba P300 as it is cheaper than WD blue or Seagate Barracuda.

1. Yes you should worry. Replace it immediately
2. Do a secure erase then throw it away. No one is going to buy faulty HDD. Not even for RM10
3. Go with Seagate Barracuda Pro. 5 year warranty, worth every penny.

2tb not worth…go 3tb for toshiba.

P300 or V300 (lower rpm)
