My Western Digital (800JB) is showing a Reallocated Sector Count Failure from SMART data using HD Tune 2.50. It's only about three months old, is this imminent failure? :confused:
 
Well, it means your drive is low on reserved sectors, which is a BAD thing. I would say you don't have long until data starts getting corrupted.
 
Well, I ran Wester Digital's HDD diagnostic tool, which says everything is fine.

So, to anyone who might have the same issue, I suggest using the manufacturers diagnostic tool instead of third party programs.
