Many bad sectors have been detected and corrected.
« on: May 18, 2018, 12:16:10 PM »
Hi,

I've been receiving the following message every other week or so:

"Many bad sectors have been detected and corrected. This drive may fail at any time: Disk 1". Image of the error: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iPmd7VYKlrTHtvAaP29M1hYpY7SoyoC8

The device light starts blinking orange and it starts behaving weirdly. After rebooting, it works fine again. This has happened half a dozen times now. Can you guys suggest any possible fix?

Thanks,
Roberto.

backup the data before the drive fails and replace it.
