I'm setting up an older Laptop with Win 10. The OS is on an SSD and the data is on a 500GB HDD. Crystal Disk is telling me the health status is "Caution" for the data HDD, everything seems OK with the disk but to play it safe I'm going to replace it.
It has Reallocated Sectors Count flagged, and nothing else.

I have another 500GB HDD sitting here that Crystal Disk states is "GOOD". Nothing is flagged but the numbers for what was flagged with the other HDD are the same.

What's the story? Both drives have a little under 2500 hours on them. Should I just bounce for another HDD? This machine is fully backed up and not used for anything important, I'd rather use the money for something else if I can get away with using the HDD that's "GOOD".
Thanks!
