linux - HGST hard drive SMART reporting drive failure in less than 24 hours from 1 reallocated sector

It says the worst was 1 Reallocated Sector Count and the current is 1 with 5 as the threshold. That's from smartmontools. Ubuntu's gnome-disk-manager says almost the same thing but shows the current value at 0.


No other attributes show failing status.


When I noticed this a few days ago, i reformatted a few times as ext4 with read-write test and an area did show up with maybe 30 bad blocks. However, retesting today, i find no bad blocks at all.


So anyway I'm confused.
