Order a replacement drive. A new one this time.
In the meantime back up the data you wish to keep.

Hello Ant!

Friday June 24 2022 20:44, Ant wrote to All:

Do not use the drive until you have a NEW drive of at least 2Tb.

Avoid the low cost drives like Purple and try and get say a Black with a 5
year warranty. Do not know what Purple is but it is low grade than Red and
that is only 3 years.

Then and only then try and make a back up of it on to the new drive (having
run partition and format etc).

IN the mean while not use that drive and disconnect it from the system -
both cables.

It will fail very shortly, if not, at some point the next time it is used.

If you have a back up use that instead.

Interesting that is has done 45430 hours which is so only been running for
5.18 years. Mind you I have no idea of the life cycle for Purple drives
but that might be good for the type.

Just had a look at my primary Red 3 TB and that's on 72,288 hours and other
one on 42,903 on 10 minutes spin down, with one Black 1 TB, on 8994 but
that is not normally spun up and in any event spins down after 10 minutes
of non use.

Oh just checked the 850 SSD and that's on 44,208.

Time for a offside back up I think.

Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], 5 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

This is almost an indicator that something with the drive is wrong.
That does not mean that the drive doesn't work anymore, but it means
that at least some sectors ARE already broken. I recommend backing up
data at least one time a week and maybe run a RAID.

I would say just based off of this line alone, it is time to get a new HDD. Hopefully your backups
are recent!
