Hi,

A few months back I had some issues accessing one of my HDD (WD Blue 1TB). The issues were copying and reading from the drive. I did a SMART test on it and it shows 2 errors, Reallocation Sector Count and Reallocation Event Count. Since then I moved to another HDD (new computer) and didn't really bother about it. Now that I have some time, i reformatted the drive and it looks ok (copying to the drive and reading from it). However the SMART tests still shows the same error. Is this enough cause for RMA?

Thanks in advance! :)
