Hello , First ,I speak spanish , sorry for my English.
I have a WD Caviar Blue 500Gb WD5000AAKX. A few days the HD started to run slow. I decided to do a test of this with HD Regenerator , It have to much fails , 39 bad sectors , and 180 delays detected. After of this test , i do the WD test with Western Digital LifeGuard Diagnostic , and the results is [Deleted] The program I was able to fix the problem. Today i send it to RMA in Argentina , because it have to much bad / delay sectors , and it performance is so bad.
But I have a question, the smart test step, but there are bad sectors, is a program failure, or I misunderstand?
